Ambient AI for Provider Well-Being
- Conditions
- Healthcare Provider Well-being
- Interventions
- Other: Artificial Intelligence
- Registration Number
- NCT06517082
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Wisconsin, Madison
- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether using Ambient Artificial Intelligence for provider documentation will enhance provider well-being and improve documentation quality.
Participants will complete their documentation using the Ambient AI software.
- Detailed Description
Provider documentation of patient visits is a time-consuming activity that extends throughout the workday and often continues outside office hours. This ongoing clerical burden negatively impacts provider well-being, contributing to burnout and job dissatisfaction.
To address these challenges, the researchers propose to test the effectiveness of the Ambient AI tool in improving provider fulfillment and note documentation efficiency. The overarching goal is to leverage AI technology to enhance provider well-being and documentation quality.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in provider fulfillment index Baseline to weeks 6, 12, 18, and 24 Using the Professional Well-Being Academic Consortium Survey Measures, the fulfillment index is a 6-item questionnaire. Each question is scored on a 0-4 Likert scale, with total possible scores of 0-24. Higher scores indicate greater fulfillment
Change in provider burnout Baseline to weeks 6, 12, 18, and 24 Using the Professional Well-Being Academic Consortium Survey Measures, the burnout index includes two subcomponents of work exhaustion and interpersonal disengagement. It is a 10-item questionnaire, scored together as a composite. Each question is scored on a 0-4 Likert scale, with a total possible range of 0-40. Higher scores indicate greater burnout, indicating lower well-being
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in meaningfulness of work Baseline to 24 weeks Meaningfulness of work is a 4-item questionnaire, where each question is scored on a 0-4 Likert scale. Total possible scores range from 0-16, with higher scores indicating lower sense of meaningfulness of work.
Change in time spent on documentation outside work hours Baseline to 24 weeks Providers will track amount of time spent on EHR (electronic health records) outside of scheduled patient hours per 8 hours of patient scheduled time
Change in meaningful relationships Baseline to 24 weeks Using the Professional Well-Being Academic Consortium Survey Measures, the negative impact of work on relationships index is a 4-item questionnaire. Each question is scored on a 0-4 Likert scale, with total possible scores ranging from 0-16. Higher scores indicate less meaningful relationships.
Change in task load Baseline to 24 weeks Hours spent on documentation per 8 hours of scheduled patient time
