In this episode, Phil and Marina explore how AI scribes are transforming everyday pediatric practice. What once required hiring and managing a human scribe can now be handled by tools that integrate directly into the clinical workflow.

They share their experiences with different platforms and emphasize that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution—getting the most out of these tools requires some customization and experimentation. A key benefit is the ability to shift attention back to patients, with less time spent on the computer and more meaningful interaction during visits.

They also discuss the importance of reviewing AI-generated notes for accuracy, along with the relatively low cost and accessibility compared to traditional scribes—especially for DPC and independent practices.

Overall, AI scribes are quickly becoming a practical, patient-centered tool for improving efficiency while maintaining high-quality care.
