@jtonline@mastodon.me.uk I had a medicines review call with a pharmacist a short while ago, and it transpired that he had spoken to me a couple of years previously when one particular medicine was prescribed. He read his notes that he had written (no AI summary), and could do a good review based on what he had written.

@jtonline@mastodon.me.uk Sorry, I got stuck on the fourth paragraph, where he says "Let me not be ungenerous to the tools themselves. The clinical governance around the particular tool used, is genuinely solid.... A large US study published in JAMA found that ambient scribing reduced clinician burnout from 51.9% to 38.8% after just thirty days of use." I have read that paper. It was a quality improvement study with no control group, volunteers who opted in to trying the tech, and 263 of the volunteers filled out the pre- and post-implementation survey and used it in non-emergency room consultations. But wait, "Site 5 (which included 63 participants) did not include survey burnout questions and so was censored from the primary outcome" - so: the burnout finding is based on 200 participants. "Large study" "ungenerous" "genuinely solid" ROTFL

@jtonline@mastodon.me.uk My partner & I had 100 years combined care from a father & son GPs. Her children were also cared for until they left home. Partner, born in 1922, died in 2017 in home hospice and the doctor made house calls.

@jtonline@mastodon.me.uk @cstross@wandering.shop i do wonder if this would be less impactive for different people - i wonder if this clinician is someone who “learns by writing down” and that has carried through in their professional career
