UCLA Health ambient AI clinical-note scribe
UCLA Health reported about 1,000 users of its AI clinical-note scribe

UCLA Health introduced a scribe that converted audio from doctor-patient visits into clinical notes. Its chief AI officer said the tool reduced note-taking work and allowed more patient conversation. The health system reported about 1,000 users by June 2026.
Results
Takeaway
UCLA Health reported less documentation work and more patient conversation. It did not quantify time savings or identify the scribe supplier.
