## Scope

University of Iowa Health Care, United States. A pre-post observational study in which 38 volunteer physicians and advanced practice providers used a commercial ambient AI tool for five weeks in ambulatory clinics; the tool transcribed patient–clinician conversations and generated preliminary notes for review and entry into the record. Burnout rates fell from 69% to 43%; work exhaustion did not change significantly. The abstract does not say how many participants were nurse practitioners, and there was no control group.

## What this means

AI-drafted visit notes lowered reported burnout among clinicians who included advanced practice providers, with the clinician still reviewing each note.

## What it does not show yet

A small pilot without a control group; it does not separate nurse practitioners or measure time saved.

## How to verify it yourself

Ask whether your clinic is piloting an ambient AI note tool and how its notes are reviewed.
