Background: The prevalence of burnout among United States (US) dermatologists has surged, reaching 49% in 2023, with a growing volume of bureaucratic tasks (eg, charting, paperwork) the leading factor behind professional fatigue. We seek to explore the competitive landscape and efficacy of AI-powered patient documentation to alleviate burnout among dermatologists by optimizing documentation practices while maintaining accuracy.
Methods: We conducted a review of eighteen AI-powered automated documentation products available in the current healthcare landscape, focusing on their integration with electronic health record (EHR) systems, HIPAA compliance, language support, mobile accessibility, and consumer type.
