Literal blatant HIPPA violation, giving personal medical info to AI companies in exchange for useless and dangerous advice

    The worst part is that HIPAA has actually already allowed AI companies to do this. Epic EHR software now has built in AI chart summary support as well as AI dictation where the patient is recorded throughout the visit by the AI agent. Somone has decided that feeding patient's PHI and voice into an AI company's black box is somehow acceptable healthcare practice and has actively implemented it in physical healthcare facilities.

    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.)

    At my last visit my doctor asked if I was okay with her recording for this (dunno if it was that exact company or not) and I said fuck no. I’m there to talk about sensitive shit, you wouldn’t catch me posting any of it online and you won’t catch me narrating it to a chatbot.
