When a patient tells me about rape, trauma, abuse from a spouse or parent, criminal acts, legal status, abortions, sexual identity, etc., I can choose to enter that into a clinic note or I can use judgment to decide that doing so risks harm, offense, or privacy. AI scribes allow no such discretion.
How is digitally storing a blob of AI generated text a greater risk than storing notes a doctor or an assistant would take? Corporations use AI scribes in high level meetings routinely, wouldn't the precautions they take to protect their IP when using this tech also work for health care?

Cutting Medicaid will destabilize our healthcare infrastructure — the most vulnerable will be forced off their coverage, people with insurance will have to pay more, and everyone in between will face hospital closures and a weakened healthcare system. This is a lose-lose situation. #impeachthequack

Twenty five years ago, the emergence of HIV was traced the the 1930’s in a fascinating study.
RFK Jr. thinks that “poppers” cause AIDS.
In don’t think that recreational poppers were in wide circulation in the 1930’s.
But maybe I’m wrong about that.
