Cybersecurity is one of the most important factors in one B.C. doctor's practice.
TORONTO — As artificial intelligence continues to develop in seemingly all facets of life — including health care — experts say it's important for patients to know AI may be used in their care.
If they are, a likely bet is that it's an AI scribe. Physicians' colleges and associations, including in Ontario and B.C., have released guidelines for doctors interested in using the technology to transcribe their conversations with patients instead of manually taking notes themselves. “But that's a lot of time being spent away, not really listening to you with maybe the attention they should have.”Tsuei said cybersecurity is one of the most important factors as he considers using an AI scribe in his practice.
That's because the data should be protected by national information privacy laws such as the Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act. But it's also a good idea to ask specifically how the recorded and transcribed information will be used, said Shaikh-Naeem. “Basically what happens is the scribes will do their work, but the physician will obviously have to review whatever the scribe has taken down," he said.
