We should be able to opt out of this shit
Why? Just because it's evil and dangerous and stupid and useless and will make shit up? Does Anyone who matters give a shit about any of that why would they?
I'm fairly certain there's a consent specifically for use of AI at patient checkin, but I doubt the front desk staff are trained on people refusing that consent and will likely tell you that you have to sign it to be treated which I'm almost positive is not true, and may even be illegal.
An online medical service I used a while back had a consent for AI charting mixed in with the various other consent to treat paperwork, and I did have the option to decline it (and did so). During the visit, the provider once again pestered me about using AI, and I declined. They were irritated by this, because they used it to document the visit automatically, and didn't want to have to do it themselves, but I wasn't denied care because of it.
Do you with in healthcare? I haven’t seen an option like that in my EHR, and it does do AI summaries of patient’s charts. (To be clear, I’m not a physician, nor do I work in a clinic where I could ask a coworker about registration or “front desk” stuff, so if could be that I just don’t see it.)
