AI (Artificial Intelligence) Scribe Consent
The physician is requesting your permission to use AI Scribe technology during your visit. This helps them pay more attention to you and improve note-taking. Please read below for more information.
We believe that the use of an AI (artificial intelligence) scribe software can greatly help to enhance the care you receive at our clinic. By signing the consent form, you are giving the physicians at the clinic permission to use this technology during your medical encounters, which will help them improve the attention they are able to give you during your visit.
What is an AI Scribe?
An AI (artificial intelligence) scribe is a technological tool used by physicians to assist in documenting patient encounters. It works by listening to your conversation with the physician, transcribing it into written text, and generating a summarized medical note that integrates into the patient's electronic medical record (EMR). Physicians use AI scribes to improve the accuracy and efficiency of their documentation, allowing them to focus more on patient care.
Benefits to Patients
The use of AI scribes helps ensure that patients' medical information is accurately recorded and easily accessible to their healthcare providers. This can lead to more effective communication between patients and physicians, ultimately enhancing accuracy and quality of care provided.
Risks of AI Scribe
As with any technology, the main risk is the potential of data breaches, though every effort is made to mitigate these risks. The technology we use is compliant with all relevant security and privacy regulations, and is PHIPA and HIPPA compliant. The data is encrypted both in transfer and at rest and is not associated with any identification data. AI scribes may occasionally make errors in transcribing conversations, which could lead to inaccuracies in medical documentation. However your physician reviews and edits all documentation before signing off.
I acknowledge that I have read and understood the information in this consent form, understand the risks and benefits, and have all my questions answered. I consent to allow the physicians at The Christie Clinic to use AI Scribe technology during all my medical encounters, including phone, virtual, and in-person visits. I acknowledge that I may withdraw my consent with written notice at any time.
