Summary

A review of 54 studies found 40 metrics implemented 96 ways, with safety and clinical outcomes among the least consistent dimensions.

The review identifies ten evaluation dimensions and 40 metrics across 54 ambient-scribe studies, operationalized in 96 different ways. Thirty-five implementations appeared only once, while documentation efficiency dominated and broader care effects were rarely assessed. The authors call for a standardized, multidimensional evaluation set.
