That's actually a very smart idea, keeping physical records of every inpatient. Wonder why the ai companies don't do transcription of medical notes, instead of trying to add ai features to my washer/ dryer combo. Just seems like a very practical use of the tech

They do, one of the things my hospital is working on implementing, much to my chagrin, is an AI thing where the doctor leaves their phone out during the visit. It listens to the patient and the doctor and generates a note. I think it’s a Nuance product, I’m not directly involved with the implementation.

For me, as soon as I see a doctor have his phone out I’m telling him to put that shit away and I don’t consent to some app listening to what I’ve got to say.

I doubt you can decline, any more than you can tell them not to use a notebook.

It is subject to actually serious HIPAA regulations though.

I’m aware of the regulations, I’m an Epic analyst and been in the world of healthcare since 2009 (used to be an MLS). Watch me decline right out the door and immediately contact patient relations. Put your fucking phone away. Healthcare has managed for quite a while without them.

Saying a personal cell phone is equivalent to a written notebook is wild. Can you compromise a notebook with malware?

The doctor will very likely have no choice but to send you to complain to someone else. Not recording will violate policy if that's what their system is, and it's an entirely reasonable policy to have. Medical interactions are heavily documented for a reason, and it's because mistakes can literally kill people.

All your records are already electronic, and a notebook is a far bigger security risk than a cell phone is. It's not encrypted. Anyone can walk away with it.

I disagree. I don’t consent to a doctor having his personal device out recording. Doesn’t seem like either of us will be changing our minds, so I’ll bid you adieu.

I meant to transcribe handwritten patient notes to dogital after the patient is released. That way op can retain the physical records for inpatients to mitigate another crowdstrike situation, and still have searchable records long term. Recording a patient consultation sounds like a bad idea all round. They'd have to figure out how to read doctors handwriting though,bbut I gather most of the difficulty is due to the cryptic names they have for things.
