How Ambient AI Reduces Physician Burnout and EHR Burden

For most physicians, the hardest part of the day isn't complex diagnoses or difficult procedures—it’s the mountain of documentation waiting after the clinic door closes.

Between EHR data entry, drafting structured SOAP notes, and ticking administrative boxes, "pajama time"—hours spent charting at night—has become an accepted norm in modern medicine. But it doesn't have to be.

In a recent 20-minute on-demand session, Dr. Keval Parikh, DPM, Owner & Medical Director of Brucato Foot and Ankle Surgery, breaks down how integrating ambient AI into his workflow transformed his practice and restored his focus on patient-centered care.

“I got my own NextGen Office Ambient Assist license and from there, I think I've changed the way that I've been practicing. Now I feel like I'm asking more questions. I'm being more clinical. I'm talking to the patients more. I'm explaining and educating more, and I'm seeing that in my notes.” — Dr. Keval Parikh, DPM

3 Key Insights From the Session

If you’re looking to streamline clinical workflows without sacrificing note quality, here is what independent practices are doing to tackle administrative burnout:

1. Shift from Data Entry to Active Listening

Traditional charting forces doctors to divide their attention between a screen and the patient. Ambient AI listens to the natural clinical conversation in real time, allowing providers to look their patients in the eye, ask deeper questions, and explain treatment plans thoroughly.

2. Streamline SOAP Notes Seamlessly

Instead of typing notes from scratch or stitching together templates, ambient technology automatically generates structured SOAP drafts directly within the EHR. Providers simply review, tweak if needed, and sign off.

3. Cut Down After-Hours Charting

By capturing details live during the visit, practices are drastically cutting down on evening documentation, letting physicians finish their work day when the last patient walks out the door.
