Exciting updates on AI scribes: new initiatives offer funding opportunities and guidance on vendors

We’re seeing exciting progress across Canada with the advancement of AI scribes in primary care – innovative tools that help automate clinical documentation so clinicians can spend more time with patients and less time on paperwork.

We’re especially grateful to Canada Health Infoway for launching a national AI Scribe Program that significantly reduces the financial strain on clinicians.

Proven Benefits, Ongoing Evaluation and Support

Our team has been actively involved in several AI scribe evaluation initiatives, working closely with vendors, clinicians, and partners to assess real-world outcomes in primary care. These evaluations consistently show that AI scribes can support better patient-clinician interactions while significantly reducing administrative burden in clinical workflows.

However, technology alone is not enough. Our experience has shown that strong change management support is essential to successful and sustainable adoption. This includes helping teams integrate new tools into their workflows, offering hands-on training, and addressing privacy and clinical governance concerns early in the process.
