Virtual Scribes, and Physician Burnout: A Short-Term Gain with Future Fallout](https://www.thehappymd.com/blog/emr-ai-virtual-scribes-and-physician-burnout-a-short-term-gain-with-future-fallout) Posted by [Dike Drummond MD](https://www.thehappymd.com/blog/author/dike-drummond-md) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://www.thehappymd.com/hubfs/AI%20DE%20Sword.jpg) ](https://www.thehappymd.com/blog/emr-ai-virtual-scribes-and-physician-burnout-a-short-term-gain-with-future-fallout)   ## The promise of AI scribes sounds like a dream come true and it will be, just not for long We are in the early adoption phase at the peak of the hype cycle. The vision of having your computer write the note for you with faster workflows, and more time for patient care is soooo enticing. > But as with any game-changing technology, there’s a catch: it’s *a double-edged sword*. The leading edge cuts your daily workload magnificently, but the trailing edge—the industry’s inevitable response to your increased productivity—is a clear and obvious danger to physicians in ways we can’t yet imagine. > > IN THIS BLOG POST: > > - How the virtual scribe programs are trained and how they will change your work flow. > - Why they might save you up to 50% of the time you now spend on visit notes. > - How the industry will respond to this increase in productivity. > - And why I fear for a future that holds deeper and darker sources of burnout than just the exhaustion of documentation.

This technology can disconnect the detail and quality of your notes from your personal data entry skills. It will get you home sooner and eliminate pajama time. ## Unfortunately, after a short break from the stress of documentation, things will only get worse. ## After the A.I. implementation, your employer will make an inevitable change to your work flow that will change burnout forever.  Tags: [EMR](https://www.thehappymd.com/blog/topic/emr), [stop physician burnout](https://www.thehappymd.com/blog/topic/stop-physician-burnout), [AI Notewriting software for doctors](https://www.thehappymd.com/blog/topic/ai-notewriting-software-for-doctors) [READ MORE NOW >>>](https://www.thehappymd.com/blog/stop-physician-burnout-the-hidden-danger-of-ai-note-writing-software) # [Boomer Doctor Retirement CLIFF + AI will either focus the industry on wellness or crush us all](https://www.thehappymd.com/blog/boomer-doctor-retirement-cliff-ai-physician-wellness-strategy) Posted by [Dike Drummond MD](https://www.thehappymd.com/blog/author/dike-drummond-md) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://www.thehappymd.com/hubfs/Cliff%20%281%29-1.jpg) ](https://www.thehappymd.com/blog/boomer-doctor-retirement-cliff-ai-physician-wellness-strategy) ## The boomer doctor retirement cliff will *decimate the US physician Workforce* between now and 2030.

I knew that I had an ally and friend. I realized that my feelings were predictable based on my circumstances, that I was “normal”. For the first time in years I had real hope that things would change for the better. * *We worked together to find and interview for a new position in the worst job market for my specialty the recruiters have ever experienced. With Dike’s help and persistent positive attitude, I found a new position at a group that really cares about the doctors and I start in two weeks. * *For me, the program has been worth everything. It has enabled me to emerge from my depression, change my toxic work situation, improve my home and family life, and allow myself to be happy and realize that I deserve to be happy.” * **~ Anonymous MD** [![Physician-burnout-prevention-discovery-session](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/263814/cc0b1858-fb1c-4ed3-98e5-4c4f10706093.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/263814/cc0b1858-fb1c-4ed3-98e5-4c4f10706093) - [Home ](https://www.thehappymd.com) - [Blog ](https://www.thehappymd.com/blog) - [About](https://www.thehappymd.com/about-the-happy-md)   - [ Contact ](https://www.thehappymd.com/contact) - |  - [Republish Articles](https://www.thehappymd.com/the-happy-md-content-network-signup-r)   || [Privacy Policy](https://www.thehappymd.com/privacy-policy) | [Terms of Use](https://www.thehappymd.com/terms-of-use) | [Anti-Spam Policy](https://www.thehappymd.com/anti-spam-policy) ||   **© TheHappyMD.com all rights reserved**
