Balancing AI Benefits and Patient Privacy: A Physician's Guide to Ethical Use of Medical Scribes
3 min read
The use of real-time transcription services and language models to generate structured notes requires a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to ensure patient trust and compliance with ethical and legal standards.
Here are some objective and practical solutions to consider:
Informed consent process:
Develop an easily understandable consent form that clearly explains the use of AI in the patient's healthcare journey, including the involvement of transcription services and language models. The consent form should outline the purpose, benefits, and potential limitations of using AI, as well as how patient data will be handled securely.Customisable consent options:
Allow patients to choose which AI-related services they are comfortable with, such as real-time transcription or machine-generated notes. This empowers patients to make informed decisions about their data and ensures that their preferences are respected.Data anonymisation and protection:
Implement state-of-the-art anonymisation techniques to remove personally identifiable information from patient data before it is processed by AI systems. Use robust data protection measures to safeguard patient information during storage and transmission.Service provider agreements and monitoring:
Establish clear data privacy and security agreements with transcription service providers and AI developers. Regularly monitor these providers to ensure adherence to the agreements and maintain the highest standards of data protection.Patient access and data sharing:
Provide patients with secure access to their AI-generated health records and facilitate the seamless and secure sharing of these records with other healthcare providers when authorised by the patient.Physician education and training:
Ensure that physicians are well-informed about the proper use of AI tools, including the importance of obtaining informed consent, safeguarding patient privacy, and accurately interpreting AI-generated insights.Compliance with regulations and guidelines:
Adhere to existing data privacy regulations and stay informed about the development of AI-specific guidelines and best practices. Actively participate in shaping these guidelines to ensure they address the unique challenges posed by AI in healthcare.Continuous patient engagement and improvement:
Actively seek patient feedback on the use of AI in their healthcare experience and address any concerns they may have. Use this feedback to refine AI systems and improve the overall patient experience.
By implementing these solutions, physicians can effectively address data privacy and patient consent issues when using AI-powered medical scribes. This approach ensures that patients remain informed, empowered, and confident in the use of their health data while benefiting from the potential of AI to enhance the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery.
Ambient AI Scribes: Revolutionising Clinical Documentation and Enhancing Healthcare Delivery
4 min read
The increasing complexity of clinical documentation within electronic medical records (EMR) has been identified as a significant contributor to clinician burnout, negatively impacting the quality of patient care and the physician-patient relationship. In response to this challenge, The Permanente Medical Group (TPMG) implemented ambient artificial intelligence (AI) scribe technology across its network in October 2023, aiming to alleviate the documentation burden on healthcare professionals.
This innovative technology employs machine learning to transcribe clinician-patient encounters in real-time, using smartphones without retaining audio recordings. It promises not only to reduce the time clinicians spend on documentation but also to enhance the quality of patient interactions by allowing physicians to focus more on the patient rather than on data entry tasks.In the initial 10 weeks following implementation, ambient AI scribes were utilised by 3,442 TPMG physicians in over 303,266 patient encounters across various specialties. Early feedback from users has been overwhelmingly positive, with many noting significant improvements in their ability to engage with patients and a reduction in after-hours clerical work. Preliminary assessments indicate that the AI-generated documentation is of high quality, requiring minimal editing by clinicians.Moreover, statistical analyses have shown a link between the use of ambient AI scribes and reduced time spent on documentation and EHR activities. This suggests that ambient AI scribes could play a crucial role in mitigating clinician burnout by streamlining administrative tasks.Despite these promising results, ongoing enhancements are necessary for direct EHR integration, improved medical interpretation capabilities, and personalised workflow options. Additionally, careful attention must be paid to ensure that the technology supports clinicians effectively while maintaining accuracy and relevance in documentation.
For healthcare organisations considering the adoption of AI-based medical scribe solutions, TPMG's experience underscores the importance of having clinical champions and fostering an organisational culture supportive of innovation. It also highlights the need for a dynamic evaluation framework to assess performance across engagement, effectiveness, quality, and safety domains.In conclusion, ambient AI scribes represent a significant advancement in healthcare technology with the potential to transform clinical documentation processes. By reducing the clerical burden on clinicians and enhancing patient interactions, ambient AI scribes could significantly improve both the efficiency and quality of healthcare delivery.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Ambient artificial intelligence (AI) scribes show early promise in reducing clinicians’ burden, with a regional pilot noting a reduction in the amount of time spent constructing notes among users.
Ambient AI scribes were found to be acceptable among clinicians and patients, largely improving the experience of both parties, with some physicians noting the transformational nature of the technology in their care.
Although a review of 35 AI-generated transcripts resulted in an average score of 48 of 50 in 10 key domains, AI scribes are not a replacement for clinicians. They can produce inconsistencies that require physicians’ review and editing to ensure that they remain aligned with the physician–patient relationship.
Given the incredible pace of change, building a dynamic evaluation framework is essential to assess the performance of AI scribes across domains including engagement, effectiveness, quality, and safety.

Computerised History Taking: A Key Driver in Improving Clinical Decision Making and Patient Care
4 min read
In the increasingly demanding landscape of healthcare, the accuracy and completeness of a patient's medical history are crucial for effective clinical decision-making and avoiding diagnostic errors. Despite its importance, the traditional method of physician-acquired histories is frequently impacted by time restrictions and subjectivity, leading to potential inaccuracies or incomplete data.
In a recent study, a computerised history-taking (CHT) system was compared with histories documented by physicians in Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Conducted with 410 patients who reported to the emergency department with acute chest pain, the study unearthed some noteworthy advantages of CHT systems:Time-Efficient:
By allowing patients to directly input their historical data, CHT systems can save crucial physician time, which can be better spent on consultations.Comprehensive Assessments:
Through a series of interactive patient questionnaires, CHT systems can amass detailed symptom inventories, which in turn refine differential diagnoses.Accuracy and Completeness:
As the question flows in CHT systems are standardised, they leave no stone unturned, guaranteeing comprehensive and accurate patient histories.Patient Engagement:
By entering their own details, patients can gain a better understanding of their conditions and the importance of providing accurate information.Superior Data Analysis:
Thanks to AI capabilities, CHT systems can detect patterns, assisting in both individual clinical decision-making and overall healthcare planning strategies.
Comparison of physician and CHT attributes affecting the completeness, accuracy and bias of data collected by each method for history-taking.(https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0257677)
Despite the multiple benefits, it's vital to remember the irreplaceable value of human touch in medicine. CHT systems are best utilised as supplementary tools, enhancing rather than replacing the work of skilled physicians.
In situations assessing critical symptoms such as chest pain, CHT systems offer a potentially life-saving evolution in efficiency and patient care. As technology progresses, healthcare professionals need to weave these digital tools into their practice, aiming to consistently deliver patient-centred, top-tier, efficient care, while preserving the essential human aspect of clinical medicine.Find more here: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0257677

Addressing Non-Billable Work and Enhancing GP Productivity in Australia
The Potential of Automation through Generative AI
3 min read
IntroductionNon-billable work, consisting of administrative tasks and patient care coordination outside of face-to-face consultations, poses a significant burden on the productivity of Australian General Practitioners (GPs). This article aims to shed light on the effects of non-billable work on GP productivity in Australia and propose three major solutions, with a specific focus on the potential of automation through generative AI, to help alleviate this burden.
Effects of Non-Billable Work on GP Productivity1. Time and Resource Constraints:
GPs spend a significant portion of their time on non-billable work, estimated at around 20%. This reduces the time available for direct patient care, potentially impacting timely access to healthcare services and practice revenue.2. Administrative Burden:
The Australian Medical Association (AMA) acknowledges the administrative workload as a missed opportunity for over 14 million face-to-face consultations annually. Additionally, high administrative burdens are linked to lower job satisfaction among physicians and the likelihood of considering seeing fewer patients in the future.3. Variances with Practice and Practitioner Characteristics:
Limited information exists regarding the variations in non-billable work among Australian GPs based on practice and practitioner characteristics. Understanding these variances is crucial in tailoring effective solutions.
Proposed Solutions1. Automation through Generative AI:
Implementing automation solutions powered by generative AI technology can significantly reduce the time spent on administrative tasks. AI-powered systems can automate paperwork, data entry, appointment scheduling, and even assist in care coordination, allowing GPs to focus more on direct patient care.2. Electronic Health Record (EHR) Optimisation:
Enhancing the functionality and efficiency of EHR systems can streamline documentation processes and improve information management. AI algorithms can help extract and categorise relevant patient data, saving GPs time and enhancing overall productivity.3. Virtual Assistants and Chatbots:
Introducing virtual assistants and chatbots can provide support in administrative tasks, appointment management, and patient communication. AI-powered chatbots can handle routine inquiries and provide information, freeing up GPs' time and improving patient experience.
The Potential of Automation through Generative AIAutomation using generative AI holds immense potential in relieving GPs from non-billable work burdens and enhancing productivity. By leveraging AI algorithms, natural language processing, and machine learning, generative AI systems can analyse vast amounts of data, automate complex administrative tasks, and support GPs in decision-making processes.Benefits of automation through generative AI include increased accuracy, accelerated data processing, reduced human error, and improved patient outcomes. GPs can optimize their time and focus on clinical care, leading to higher job satisfaction and enhanced patient experience.
Productivity and Burnout
3 min read
General practices are the most frequented healthcare services in Australia, with nearly 85 percent of individuals consulting a general practitioner (GP) each year. Amazingly, over 95 percent of these patients consistently visit the same practice, cementing the general practice as a critical fixture in the landscape of Australian healthcare. Despite being heavily utilised and supported by research emphasising the need for a well-funded general practice sector, such services account for a major 7.7 percent of total government health expenditure. The underfunding issue is further exacerbated by the Medicare Benefits Scheme (MBS), which consistently undervalues proper GP services amid inadequate indexation and a rigid consultation item structure.
Central to the discourse presented in the sixth annual report (Health of a nation, RACGP, Nov2023) is a theme that resonates across the field: the sustainability of general practice. Amidst increasing pressures such as unmanageable workloads and administrative burdens, coupled with inadequate remuneration, the sustainability of this sector hangs in the balance. The sheer intensity of these stressors has prompted an alarming trend; more general practitioners including emerging talents from younger cohorts are scaling back their hours, with some contemplating early retirement, thereby expediting the onset of a predicted shortage in the general practice workforce.Burnout, illustrative of the immense strain on individuals, is a phenomenon reported by an overwhelming 73% of general practitioners within the past year alone, signaling a wake-up call to address their well-being and to safeguard the future of primary healthcare delivery. Foremost among the concerns raised is the burgeoning challenge of managing clinical workloads, a stress factor that, for the first time, supersedes the challenge of managing income— and is intricately linked with navigating the ever-tightening labyrinth of regulatory changes.Indeed, nearly half of surveyed GPs have conceded that the financial model underpinning their practice is unsustainable, with many opting to bulk bill out of consideration for their patients' affordability, despite personal financial detriment. Moreover, compliance with Medicare concerns and the complexity attached to it have been reported to substantially divert time from patient care, fostering a climate of apprehension and caution which may inadvertently hinder the provision of services due to fears of compliance repercussions.It is somewhat concerning that government funding has not aligned proportionately with the vital role general practices play. Current funding levels may leave one with the impression that health authorities are content to lean heavily on the intrinsic sense of duty that has long characterised the medical profession.While general practices are under pressure, a window of opportunity is open to reinvent and reinvigorate the system. Let’s start a meaningful dialogue and drive the innovation needed in healthcare. Connect, contribute, and let's navigate towards a smarter, sustainable future in Australian healthcare together.
