| | | AI HEALTHCARE | AI on the Ward | | AI is becoming a normal part of clinical work, according to a survey from healthcare AI company Heidi. | The survey asked 1,823 clinicians across 25 countries about admin pressure, AI use and trust. | It found that 86% now use AI daily or several times a week, while fewer than 2% have never used it. | The main reason is the growing admin burden. | Around 76% said their workload has increased in recent years, and more than eight in ten spend over an hour a day on admin outside patient care. | Documentation was named as the biggest challenge by 88% of respondents. | This pressure is also affecting patient time. | Nearly three-quarters said admin reduces the time they can spend with patients, while 78% regularly work beyond manageable hours. | Many clinicians are now using AI scribes, general chatbots and research tools to cut down paperwork. | More than half said saving time on admin was their main reason for adopting AI. | The survey also found that experienced clinicians are using the technology heavily. | Those with more than 21 years in practice reported higher daily AI use than clinicians with five years or less. | Here’s what you should know: | | The patients are surprisingly chill | However, employer support appears limited. | Around 83% said they are using AI without guidance on approved tools, safety or governance. | Accuracy remains the biggest concern, cited by 68% of respondents, followed by patient privacy at 59%. | Despite this, 75% said patients are generally open to AI being used in their care. | AI may also help clinicians stay in the profession for longer. | Around 73% said it is making their careers more manageable, while 56% said it supports better patient follow-up. | Heidi says healthcare organisations now need clearer rules, safer systems and better support for staff already using these tools. | Less paperwork, more healthcare. - MV | Should healthcare organisations approve specific AI tools? | | Vote for live results + see results and opinions from yesterday at the bottom of the email. |
