This qualitative content analysis study characterizes real-world edits to AI-generated drafts and identifies opportunities for improvement of AI design and the implementation process.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eight coders analyzed clinical documentation generated by ambient AI from 200 clinical encounters. We developed an inductive coding framework with 11 codes across 3 categories: clinical content, terminology, and language style. Interrater reliability was assessed using Cohen\u2019s kappa. We then applied thematic analysis to synthesize patterns across the coded edits.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The most frequently edited content pertained to clinical facts including orders (eg, procedures, lab tests) (40.0%), symptoms (30.3%), medication prescriptions (27.3%), and diagnosis descriptions (25.9%). In comparison, edits related to terminology use (11.6%) and language style (7.2%) were less frequent. The results of our thematic analysis show that most edits can be categorized into one of the following 5 types: to revise factual discrepancies, to add medical specialty-specific details, to express diagnostic certainties, to convert patient expressions into objective assessments recorded in medical terms, and to reorganize or condense content.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion and Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Clinicians routinely revise ambient AI drafts to modify factual details and clinical specificity.
