Jaymeson Stroud, MD, on Cultivating Better Bedside Manner with AI

In oncology care, every moment spent with patients is precious. Cancer diagnoses bring complex emotional and medical challenges that demand a physician's complete attention. Yet in recent years, oncologists have found themselves divided between providing compassionate care and managing the burden of clinical documentation, often typing notes during crucial patient conversations.

For Dr. Jaymeson Stroud, Radiation Oncologist at Ackerman Cancer Center, DeepScribe has transformed this dynamic, enabling him to fully engage with patients during their vulnerable moments. By eliminating the documentation barrier, DeepScribe's ambient AI technology allows oncologists to maintain eye contact, pick up on subtle emotional cues, and respond with the kind of attentive bedside manner that cancer care demands.

Jaymeson Stroud, MD: I was excited to explore any option that was gonna help me to be able to document.

I was even willing to give up some quality to be able to actually be, getting through these patients and spending, face to face time with the patient where I could be more present in the conversation and not sitting there trying to take notes so that I could remember what they're saying. I think it allowed me to answer questions with more of a personable, type of, you know, bedside manner. I think, overall, it was really just that extra time that I had, allowed me to stay on time. It allowed me to, at the end of the day, kind of take a quick minute to wrap up. And I I actually look at all my Deepgram notes at the end of the day and sign off on them, and I'm done. And, you know, those notes are ready to go out to positions same day.
