This session features 4 informaticists who have been early adopters of ambient documentation technology.

Each panelist will have a brief presentation on the following topics:
- Implementation, Roll out and User Engagement
- How this software works, what happens with generated data, and how it works with the medical record
- Benefits of use, review of available evidence on documentation burn out, efficiency, standardization
- How to get the most out of the system, demonstrations of peak capabilities of the system from an experienced user and how one can optimize performance.

There will then be a moderated discussion of our experiences with various software products and future directions of this technology. We will then take questions from the audience.
