Summary
Canada Health Infoway’s AI Scribe Program enrolled more than 12,000 primary care clinicians by February 2026, as monthly AI-assisted visits grew to over 1.22 million. Clinicians reported less administrative work and lower cognitive load, but also frequent note editing and concerns about errors, privacy and patient consent; research on effects on patient outcomes remains limited. Clinicians must check and sign AI-generated notes, while health systems and vendors also have a role in providing reliable tools, training and safeguards.
