Researchers at the University of Edinburgh searched three databases on March 20 for work on how ambient artificial intelligence (AI) scribes are being implemented. They screened 1,333 results and were left with 27 articles. Thirteen were empirical studies. The narrative review, published Sept. 3 in BMJ Digital Health & AI, mapped those articles against the Non-Adoption,…
Download Slides As CMS moves toward outcome-based payment for chronic care at national scale, the next two model years give ACOs a period to build their own outcomes and utilization data before those expenditures affect benchmark calculations. CMS’s ACCESS Model went live in July 2026, bringing outcome-aligned payment for technology-supported chronic care into…
Lured by promises of time savings and more face-to-face interactions with patients, a growing number of doctors are using artificial intelligence-backed scribes for clinical documentation. But experts say there’s a hidden cost: the risk of medical malpractice. As AI scribes move from limited pilots to routine use in exam rooms, the technology can make documentation…
Primary care already has a pipeline problem. Medical Economics reported that the 2026 residency match offered 5,491 family medicine positions but filled 83.6% of them, leaving 899 unfilled and prompting a new review of the specialty’s growth and sustainability. Those family medicine match results should sharpen the way practices think about artificial intelligence (AI), which can help physicians recover…
Dual-eligible beneficiaries account for a disproportionate share of Medicare and Medicaid spending owing to their complex medical, behavioral, and social needs. Care for this population presents multiple challenges, in part, because Medicare and Medicaid are distinct programs with conflicting incentives for managing costs, which can result in unintended cost shifting across programs, poor care coordination, and potentially avoidable use….
When I was growing up, my aunts in Montevideo had a code for emergencies: Call Yosi. My seide Simón — my grandfather — would resist seeing a doctor, resist the hospital most of all, especially when my father was traveling, and someone had to talk him into going. Even then, I understood him. Nothing about…
Download Slides AI is moving into clinical workflows faster than many provider organizations can evaluate it. For leaders comparing HCC coding software, clinical AI tools, and point-of-care solutions, the challenge is determining which technology will genuinely improve documentation and gap capture without creating more work for physicians. In this session, Dr. Sunil Nihalani, practicing…

Fifty-three percent of American adults feel as though they either have “not too much” or no control over the use of artificial intelligence in their healthcare, a new survey found. Moreover, 63% of respondents polled by the Pew Research Center report that they would like more say over whether AI is used in their care….
Here’s how finance leaders can evaluate AI investments in revenue cycle management before committing budget, and the risk exposure most vendor pitches leave out. Every healthcare CFO’s inbox now has an AI-in-RCM pitch in it. The promises are consistent: lower denial rates, faster collections, leaner overhead. What’s inconsistent is the due diligence behind the decision…
Litigation should not be the strategy to achieve Star Rating reform. It is the alarm, not the repair. Over the past two years, one health plan after another has taken the federal government to court over its Medicare Advantage quality scores—and won. UnitedHealthcare, Centene, Elevance Health, Alignment Health, and our own SCAN Health Plan have…
Dive Brief: Nearly half of physicians employed by corporations feel pressured to prioritize patient volume over care quality, according to a new survey of 1,000 doctors from a physician advocacy group. Additionally, 63% of physicians say their employers have policies that make it difficult to refer patients outside their network, and 59% say they face pressure to…
