Get consent for every consult with an AI scribe to comply with state surveillance laws, says MDO
MIPS chief medical officer Dr Owen Bradfield says obtaining consent to use an AI scribe has multiple components.
A medical defence organisation is advising GPs to obtain consent every time they use an AI scribe to take consultation notes, even for repeat patients.
Dr Owen Bradfield, GP and chief medical officer at the Medical Indemnity Protection Society (MIPS), said it was necessary because some state laws meant recording a consultation without consent was a criminal offence.
