AI adoption in medicine is accelerating: more than 12,000 primary care clinicians have enrolled in Canada Health Infoway’s national AI scribe program, about 5,000 Ontario physicians use AI scribes and roughly one in five Canadian physicians now use AI tools. Almost 60 per cent report a cut in administrative time.
AI scribes are tools that, with the patient’s consent, listen to a clinical visit and automatically draft the physician’s notes.
