AI Scribes: Why Mental Space Matters More Than Minutes


Listen Later

Everyone’s talking about how AI scribes save clinicians time. But what if the bigger win isn’t the clock—it’s the relief of finally walking out of the exam room without a head full of notes to write later?

In this conversation, Dr. Scott Eshowsky, Chief Medical Information Officer at Beacon Health System and a practicing family physician, shares how Oracle Health’s Clinical AI Agent is changing daily practice. From easing documentation burden and reducing burnout to strengthening patient connection, he explains why integration and accountability are just as critical as efficiency gains. He also discusses how Beacon is thinking about AI’s next frontier: helping clinicians surface chart data more quickly for better decision-making.

Where do you see AI scribes making the biggest difference—time saved, mental space, or patient connection? Share your thoughts in the comments.
