Survey: Primary care doctors say embedded AI tools save hours and improve care quality

Summary

A survey of 69 U.S. primary care physicians using Elation Health’s AI‑enhanced electronic health record features found that 76% believe AI tools are helping them provide better care, with around 61% reporting reduced stress or burnout and over two hours of documentation time saved per day. The findings, combined with earlier studies on AI scribes, suggest that carefully designed clinical AI integrated into existing workflows can ease cognitive load and strengthen continuity of care rather than add to clinicians’ burden.
