Episode 178: If You Didn’t Say It, It Didn’t Happen: The Hidden Risk of Ambient Scribes

Send us Fan MailAmbient scribes are one of the most exciting developments we’ve seen in clinical workflows in years. They promise less typing, less burnout, and more meaningful connection with patients. And for many physicians, that alone feels like a long-overdue shift in the right direction.But here’s the question: are they actually capturing the full clinical and financial story of the visit?Because what I’m seeing, across practices of all sizes, is that while ambient scribes are incredibly helpful… they’re not the whole answer.And this isn’t a knock on the technology. In fact, I think it’s one of the most important tools we’ve added to the clinical environment in a long time. But like any tool, its value depends entirely on how it’s used—and what we assume it’s doing for us.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!
