From Burnout to Brilliance: A Webinar on How AI Scribes Are Helping Clinicians Reclaim Their Time

In our recent webinar, From Burnout to Brilliance: Leveraging AI Scribes and Other AI for Your Ideal Practice, our CEO, Dr. Mohamed Alarakhia, joined Clinical Advisor Dr. Kevin Samson to explore the transformative role of AI in primary care, with a particular focus on AI scribes. As the demands on clinicians continue to rise, technology is stepping in to reduce administrative burdens and bring joy back to practice.

What Is an AI Scribe?

An AI scribe is an artificial intelligence-powered tool that automatically transcribes and structures clinical encounters. It listens in on patient-provider conversations, extracts relevant medical data, and generates documentation that can be directly integrated into your electronic medical record (EMR) system.

This tool has the potential to save clinicians over three hours per week, reduce cognitive overload, and significantly improve the quality of documentation.

Why Now?

With the growing interest in digital health innovation, initiatives are making AI scribes more accessible than ever:

  • Canada Health Infoway is funding 10,000 AI scribe licenses for primary care clinicians across the country.
  • Supply Ontario has prepared a Vendor List of Record featuring vetted Canadian AI scribe solutions that meet privacy, security, and clinical standards, enabling discounted pricing, standardized contracts, and implementation support.

Tips for Getting Started with AI Scribes

Here are a few practical strategies shared during the webinar:

Customize your preferences: Tailor settings such as language, consent prompts, and template styles.
Use templates effectively: You can select from existing templates or create your own for different visit types or documentation needs.
Incorporate context fields: These enhance note accuracy by allowing you to insert non-verbalized information (like lab results or background details).
Streamline consent: Use e-forms, kiosks, or paper handouts to obtain consent, and document it directly in your EMR using toolbars, stamps, or pre-filled fields.

Beyond Scribing: The Power of AI in Primary Care

The future of AI in healthcare is already taking shape, and it goes far beyond documentation:

  • Decision support: Tools like Vero offer real-time clinical insights and coaching.
  • Inbox management: AI can parse, sort, and prioritize incoming documents.
  • Form completion: Automatically populate forms like the Disability Tax Credit Certificate.
  • Pre-visit data collection: Tools like Ada, via Scribeberry, collect patient history before the appointment.

Looking ahead, AI could soon enable virtual assistants for booking and messaging, real-time translation for patient conversations, and seamless EMR integrations.
