Peterson Institute: Ambient AI Scribes on Track to Be Fastest-Adopted Health Tech in History
A Peterson Health Technology Institute report finds ambient AI scribes are becoming one of the fastest-adopted technologies in healthcare history. For FQHCs, the technology addresses critical clinician burnout — Neighborhood Healthcare (CA FQHC, 500K+ visits, 30 facilities) successfully piloted Nabla AI scribes. However, rural FQHCs face connectivity and cost barriers, as North Country Healthcare (AZ) discovered.
