AI scribes do help. EMRs brought with them a second job that physicians have to do of frantically typing as they think. It takes energy and doing two jobs at once at a rapid pace is what leads to burnout. If leaders are looking only at productivity ROI, they should be prepared for clinician turnover. An AI scribe can be looked at as a way to extend the clinical careers of the current group of physicians.
