Ambient AI scribes have typically been marketed as tools to reduce providers’ administrative burden by speeding up the clinical documentation process. They may also be useful in boosting health system revenues.

Multiple studies show that scribe usage is leading to more billing codes being included in clinical notes, which in turn leads to higher reimbursement from insurers and higher revenues for hospitals. That may be a slight boon for health systems, experts said. But, they cautioned that it could also increase overall medical costs and insurance premiums, particularly when scribes are used in inpatient settings, which involve billing for much higher-cost services. Whether they also result in improvements in care is unclear.

Air travel has become agony for many travelers: enduring endless lines, arguing about luggage with harried airline employees, running for flights because of security delays. The list goes on.

As retailers increasingly embrace artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and autonomous vehicles, a new retail model is beginning to emerge: mobile stores that drive directly to customers instead of waiting for customers to come to them.

New research published in the INFORMS journal Manufacturing & Service Operations Management finds that retailers operating fleets of mobile “stores on wheels” can outperform traditional fixed-location stores by continuously relocating to areas of highest demand while simultaneously learning where future demand is likely to occur.
