Unfortunately a guy I know works for a gov hospital and they've used such technology for over a decade at this point. It seems unavoidable.
This is really weird. Is it common in other countries for doctors to not input the data in the system themselves?
I don't know if it's common practise in other countries. In Sweden where I work it is. I think the rationale is the following:
- It's a lot faster to use a voice recorder.
- A doctor's time is worth a lot more than a secretary's (in the sense of pay and rarity)
- Using a voice recorder lets us review lab results, radiology etc at the same time as recording, not having to switch between tasks. -Doctorss wont have to be good spellers or think about building well thought out sentences. We also dont have to look up classification codes for procedures and diagnoses. All this will be done by the secretary.
Of course we have to review the teanscribed result. At my hospital, all doctors carry smart cards and use the personal stoed private key to digitally sign every transcribed medical record entry.
What, exactly, are your privacy concerns about this?
Not OP but if I were him/her: Leakage of patient data. Even if OP isn't responsible, simply being tied to an incident like this can look very bad in fields that rely heavily on reputation.
AI models are known to leak this kind of information, there are news articles all over
- Go to the Minecraft servers of OpenAI and similar corporations.
- Find a room called "AI server room", all while avoiding of defeating the mobs protecting the area.
- Destroy everything there.
- Go to the offices.
- Destroy everything there.
