i went to a medical appointment the other day

the doctor asked if he could use AI during the appointment

i said 'no'

he said i was the only one who had refused

pro tip: if what you say to AI is shared with an insurance company, if what you said is not what you said because AI made stuff up, if what you said is revealed in a breach

guess what, your insurance company will use that against you forever and ever

just say no to AI

@samiamsam physician here. I use an AI scribe (which is HIPAA compliant). Refusing is totally fine, but don't complain about the progress note getting posted late, or orders put in getting scheduled later (people do that all the time [edit for the concerned: no, these don't impact patient care).

@P__X @samiamsam HIPAA compliant - an AI? Unless its running locally on your computer it is almost certainly sending and storing the query with a third party provider that the patient has not consented to share their medical data with.

@nf3xn @P__X

i work in HIM and HIPAA is only as good as the persons doing ROI

and AI is not a person and all that date goes somewhere

@nf3xn @samiamsam I share some of the the skepticism, but yes for AI to get approval to be used in healthcare it has to meet HIPAA requirements for storage, data security and access etc, and unlike peoples chatGPT or Grok queries it has actual legal consequences.
