PSA:

If you are wearing smart glasses and come to the ER, the smart glasses people are going to get a recording of my history, exam, and discussion of your results. You wouldn’t believe how often I unexpectedly find cancer, or syphilis, or other conditions you may not want big tech to immediately be privy to. Meta isn’t subject to medical privacy laws. It also isn’t my job to recognize your camera and give you a heads-up. In fact, big signs in the ER tell you recording is not allowed.

@mcnado please do also tell your interns that, no, they can't use chatgpt "just to summarize" our interview, since that is a direct and immediate violation of my HIPAA rights.

The CBC recently published an article about an analysis of AI scribes intended for recording medical appts.

AI transcriber for use by Ontario doctors 'hallucinated,' generated errors, auditor finds | CBC News

Artificial intelligence note-taking tools intended for use by Ontario doctors provided incorrect and incomplete information or demonstrated "hallucinations," and were not evaluated adequately, the province’s auditor general says in a new report.

@grim_elsewhere @wyatt_h_knott I asked the sales guy that was hyping the version in our EHR, noting that various studies estimated AI hallucinating 1-2% of the time. He noted that was in the ballpark of what they were aware of, and put it on the user to proofread the notes (which I guarantee is not happening).

@mcnado @wyatt_h_knott yeah, that's the problem with "almost always functional." When it fails, did anyone notice?
