Ambient AI Solution Adoption in Medical Practices

In an era where healthcare demands are rapidly evolving, ambient AI technology is emerging as a transformative solution to reduce administrative burdens, improve documentation accuracy, and elevate patient-provider interactions. This industry-first whitepaper, based on original MGMA research and real-world insights from healthcare leaders, explores the state of ambient AI adoption in medical practices and charts a clear path forward for success.

Key Findings and Insights:

• 42% of medical groups are already using some form of ambient AI—primarily for visit transcription and speech recognition.
• 80% of leaders are likely to adopt or upgrade ambient AI tools in the next 12 months, citing reduced clinician burden, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced documentation as top motivators.
• Despite growing interest, adoption hurdles remain: only 29% use AI for full clinical/SOAP note generation, and just 21% use AI documentation assistants.

Real-World Impact:

• Physicians report significant time savings, better work-life balance, and stronger patient engagement through reduced screen time and more face-to-face conversation.
• Customizable integration allows ambient AI to support various specialties and workflows, from solo practices to large health systems.
• Early adopters share positive experiences—even amid pilot phases—with reduced burnout and faster documentation turnaround being common outcomes.
