英格蘭的國家醫療保健服務(NHS)正致力於數位轉型，將人工智慧(AI)融入日常臨床工作。
The National Health Service (NHS) in England is embracing a digital transformation by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into daily clinical practice.
這項計畫是政府宏大藍圖的一部分，旨在減輕經常導致醫護人員職業倦怠的沉重行政負擔。
This initiative, part of a broader government plan, aims to reduce the overwhelming administrative workload that often causes burnout among medical staff.
透過自動化處理日常文件，NHS希望將重點拉回最核心的事務：直接的病患照護。
By automating routine documentation, the NHS hopes to shift the focus back to what matters most: direct patient care.
其中一項最顯著的部署工具是「環境抄錄」(Ambient Scribing)。
One of the most significant tools being deployed is 'ambient scribing.'
這些AI系統會聆聽醫病諮詢過程，即時生成逐字稿與臨床摘要。
These AI systems listen to patient consultations to generate real-time transcripts and clinical summaries.
在如大奧蒙德街醫院(Great Ormond Street Hospital)等機構的試驗中，結果相當令人振奮，臨床醫師增加了近25%的病患互動時間，並縮短了超過8%的診間時間。
Trials at institutions like Great Ormond Street Hospital have shown promising results, with clinicians gaining nearly 25% more time for patient interaction and reducing appointment times by over 8%.
除了文書記錄，NHS正透過諸如AIR-SP平台等計畫擴大AI基礎設施，該平台支援多站點研究，以實現早期癌症檢測。
Beyond note-taking, the NHS is scaling up AI infrastructure through projects like the AIR-SP platform, which supports multi-site research for early cancer detection.
最終，這項舉措旨在將NHS轉型為全球最AI化的醫療系統，確保醫護人員能將專業投注於病患身上，而非繁瑣的文書作業。
Ultimately, this move seeks to turn the NHS into the world’s most AI-enabled healthcare system, ensuring staff can dedicate their expertise to patients rather than paperwork.
