Cleveland Clinic picked Ambience after testing five scribes. UW Health is quadrupling its Abridge users. Neither has published outside results yet.
At Mass General Brigham, burnout among surveyed clinicians fell from 52.6% to 30.7% over 84 days of use. The study calls that an association, and only 22% of pilot users answered. MGB has an institutional investment in Abridge, per the study's disclosures; the study doesn't name the vendors it tested.
A peer-reviewed evaluation of Sutter Health's inpatient rollout found low use and no change in daily time spent on notes. The scribe lacked a copy-forward function for progress notes, a staple of hospital charting.
