HIMSSCast: New survey shows how AI is helping clinicians manage admin overload

This HIMSSCast episode features an interview with Erez Druk, co-founder and CEO of FREED, discussing the results of a survey on AI tools in clinician practices. The survey reveals that clinicians, particularly those in smaller practices, face significant administrative burdens, leading to burnout and potential departures from medicine. AI tools are increasingly being adopted to alleviate these burdens by automating tasks like scheduling, documentation, and billing, ultimately giving clinicians more time for patient care. While adoption faces hurdles such as leadership sign-off and privacy concerns, the trend suggests a future where AI significantly reduces clinician burnout and supports the sustainability of smaller, community-focused practices.
