About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether using Ambient Artificial Intelligence for nursing staff documentation in an inpatient setting will reduce the time spent in flowsheet documentation and enhance nurse staffing wellbeing.
Participants will use Ambient Listening AI software to draft documentation in discrete fields.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Change in Active Time Spent in Flowsheets per shift hour
To assess a change in nursing staff documentation time, the change active time spent in flowsheets per shift hour with the use of the Ambient Listening tool versus usual documentation will be reported.

Change in Clinician Worklife Survey (Mini-Z) Score
Professional Wellbeing will be assessed with the Mini Z 3.0, a 10 item tool (plus one open-ended question) designed to quickly assess clinician burnout, stress, satisfaction, and work-life drivers such as workload control, teamwork, and electronic health record (EHR) related stressors. The Mini Z survey is scored by summing responses to the first 10 items, each rated on a 1-5 Likert scale, producing a total score ranging from 10 to 50. Higher scores indicate better worklife conditions, with scores of 40 or above reflecting a "joyful" workplace.
