„Ich werde nie wieder zurück“: Hausärztin aus Ontario sagt, dass die neue KI-Notizen ihren Job gerettet haben

During the summer of 2023, Dr. Rosemary Lall, a [family physician](https://globalnews.ca/tag/family-physician) working at a bustling medical clinic in Scarborough, hit her breaking point.

After nearly three decades on the job, Lall was ready to throw in the towel as she found herself buried under inescapable patient-related paperwork that often cut into precious family time.

“I lost all my joy of work,” Lall told Global News. “I was coming into work really dreading the day.”

That dread, Lall said, had less to do with the patient experience and instead came from the work associated with the “aftermath” — mandatory record-keeping that front-line health-care workers are expected to input into Ontario’s electronic medical records system.

Physicians, Lall said, are expected to update patient charts, fill out medical forms, provide sick notes and provide specialist referrals.

The administrative burden would often take her up to two hours per day. Ontario’s Medical Association has estimated family doctors spend 19 hours per week on administrative tasks, including four hours spent writing notes or completing forms for patients.

The article kind of wants you to see it as just a a note taking helper when it seems to be 2 distinct features/“phases“

* AI Transcribed Meeting note
* It takes all that’s said and firstly transcribes all the information spoken into text, but then tries to sort it by subjective(patient), objective(doctor), assessment, and finally plan of action. This can be helpful in an ideal world to allow for the nurse/doctor to make better after appointment notes, as you can go off whats said rather then trying to remember exact wording or phrasing
* AI manufactured doctors notes
* This is ultimately the worse an scary part, „they can ask the AI model to regenerate the information or add more detail to any one of the categories.“ Using software like this can make the function of notes become useless as you cannot trust the contents of the notes due to them being created or alter by a machine that you don’t know. I’m not a doctor, but I believe they not only just use these notes for legal/insurance purposes, but also as refreshers or information for others to use to get an idea of whats said and what the previous medical personnel did, but with software like this, can you trust that what happen is correct? and who is to blame when your doctor is misled into believing something that never happend happend because they were relying on the information in this document to help you?
