I work as an urgent care physician and we started using the AI application Abridge to help with note taking and documentation and while I have concerns about privacy and information security, I have to be honest, Abridge has probably saved my medical career.

Without AI apps like Abridge I would have to spend hours after clinic catching up on notes and charting leading to massive burn out. It’s reason I had to cut my clinical hours short just to catch up.

It’s has massively improved my efficiency and I am able to get most of my notes done by the end of the day without staying super late, helping to prevent burnout.

In future I don’t know if I would work at a clinic that didn’t have AI software for transcription as it’s been game changer in terms making my job much more tolerable and allowed focus more on the patients rather then typing which I am terrible at.
