Absolutely brilliant. When I listen over my voice note of a long ramble that is a response, celebration, and request for certain elements to get attention in future iterations...(I will transcribe it and use AI to summarise my points in a linear format), I hope for application on the micro and macro levels of practice. From where my mind has gone, I can see how the move to electronic and clinical audio transcription may leave some parts of a clinician's workflow and executive function/information processing out.

I hope it is not just a move for efficiencies to get notes, documentation, and reports to clients quicker.

But the integration of technology with AI to improve signposting, patient receiving their own debriefs of clinical contact, and elements that promote clinician reflection are factored into what it produces as it sits as a fly on the wall.

I hope that the technology available can improve integration so that patient systems have reduction features embedded into them for small—and large-scale information use.

I also hope that any efficiencies are factored into promoting the health and well-being of clinicians, highlighting that we don't want to make them more efficient for just monetary value, but to protect them from burnout.

AI has helped me deal with my heart, never scaling back my clinical contact quality and therapeutic rapport while finishing work on time and not burning out.

AI is going to be in the future, whether we like it or not, but thankfully, I'm going to be of sound mind, body, and soul to be there, too.
