Human scribes have proven helpful in reducing physician administrative burden. According to the AMA, having a scribe in the room can reduce burnout by as much as 27%. But this is not as easy a solution to implement as one might think. Have you seen the average size of the examination room? Getting another person in there makes for a crowded elevator. Then, there’s the intimacy problem. Health conversations can be difficult with another person listening in and taking notes. Not to mention the challenge of getting enough trained people available whenever the physician needs them. Alternatively, a well-trained AI model is exceptionally good at processing the conversation between a physician and patient, transcribing it, ordering the conversation into appropriate notes, performing the necessary documentation for claims, initiating referrals for lab tests, images, specialists, and so on.

Recently, I had the privilege of attending the AHA Rural Health Conference, a gathering that brings together healthcare professionals, administrators, and advocates from across the nation to address the unique challenges and opportunities within rural healthcare. The experience was not only enlightening but also deeply inspiring, highlighting the resilience, innovation, and dedication of those at the forefront of rural health. Reflecting on the conference, I’d like to share three key themes and takeaways that resonated with me, in the hope of offering some insights and encouragement to others navigating this vital field.

The Digital Front Door (DFD) methodology has emerged as a pivotal element in enhancing patient engagement, streamlining operations, and ensuring a competitive advantage. In a 2022 KLAS Top of Mind Research Report, 55% of healthcare leaders stated that their organization uses some form of DFD technology.
