No, because it’s wrong just enough to slip errors into your medical report that seem plausible, but can be dangerously wrong.

You can and should say no to AI writing anything into your medical report.

People get lazy and don’t review things as carefully when they see it’s usually correct, and you don’t always get the opportunity to read all the notes of your medical report yourself.

Doctors aren’t writing their notes either way, it’s sent to the Philippines or it’s sent to ai. Why would they bother writing themselves when they can see another patient in that time and double their income.

Dunno where that leaves is though, rage at the for profit health industry I guess :/

And either way the practice management software they use is mining those notes to advertise www.magentus.com/…/data-management-services/?r=a - highly regulated but there’s always cowboys

This is far from a universal truth. While it’s true that local professional medical transcriptionists are much rarer today than they were 20 years ago as a lot of doctors started using software (I remember when “Dragon: Naturally Speaking” really hit the stage everyone thought it would be revolutionary), in my experience there are a lot less doctors even using transcription these days. Some of the old timers still do since they never really bothered to learn to type, but a lot of them just type into a computer in the exam room with patients.

Maybe that’s a regional thing, I don’t know, but it is definitely the norm in my part of the world.
