flag New Zealand is expanding its national AI scribe program to mental health teams in emergency departments, adding 1,000 licenses to support clinicians who spend up to 40% of their time on documentation. flag The tool, already used by 1,250 emergency doctors, has boosted productivity and wellbeing, with 80% reporting improved efficiency and 84% noting positive impacts. flag Australia’s Healthdirect has launched a Patient Consult Summary app that generates immediate, formatted visit summaries using speech-to-text or typing, improving patient understanding and care coordination. flag The app, developed with academic and government partners, prioritizes privacy and supports future AI features. flag Both initiatives reflect growing global use of AI in healthcare to reduce clinician workload, though technical and regulatory details remain limited.
