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.

Professional Wellbeing will also be assessed with Mini Z subscales. One Mini-Z subscale measures supportive work environment with 7-items (scores range from 7-35, higher scores indicate more supportive environment).

The SUS is a 10-item scale that assesses perceived usability of a system, in this case, the Abridge Ambient Listening Tool. It yields a single score that can range from 0-100 with higher scores indicating higher system usability.
