@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
