At a recent appointment, Emily’s physical therapist (who knows some about her research) said, “Before we get started, there’s something I want to ask you about.” The something was an automatic “scribing” system their office is trialling for two weeks and deciding whether to purchase. These systems take in a (presumably audio-only) recording of the patient encounter and then output a draft patient note for the chart.

So what’s the big deal with “AI” charting? Here are nine reasons why we recommend refusing to consent to the use of scribing tools in healthcare settings:

Kids alergist wanted to use it. I said no and had two nurses come "explain" it better to convince me. I said no, and the doctor never once mentioned to to try to convince me himself. He was just snippy with me because he had to use his hands to take notes like a baby's toy.

I will never consent to AI transcription, its gonna kill someone if it already hasn't.
