AI Summary: A multi‑site study found adoption of AI medical scribes yields small but consistent reductions in electronic health record documentation and clinician charting time. Hospitals reported time savings and workflow adjustments, but gains were modest — enough to raise eyebrows, not replace human scribes or magic.
