An artificial intelligence medical scribe is being rolled out to 1,000 doctors and frontline staff working in emergency departments across New Zealand.
The AI -powered technology securely records consultations and automatically creates draft clinical notes, referral letters, and follow-up summaries, which doctors then review and confirm.
Health Minister Simeon Brown says the tool allows doctors to spend more time interacting directly with patients while it captures consultation details, helping to ensure nothing important is missed, and leading to more consistent follow-up care.
