Ontario is expanding an AI program, "AI scribe," to help reduce administrative burdens on doctors by transcribing and summarizing patient visits with family doctors, potentially saving up to 50% of doctors' time on paperwork. This initiative involves 150 primary care clinics and is being evaluated by OntarioMD, a subsidiary of the Ontario Medical Association.
