I feel like if you asked any half-intelligent AI "please review these notes and flag points we should review for correctness, or check with the patient?"
I'm pretty sure it would pick up a huge chunk of issues?
Well, doesn't every tool? The devil is in the details of just how easy it is to use correctly versus incorrectly, and what are the consequences if it's not used correctly. A tool that, when used as its manufacturer advises, fails as often as most AI systems do has no place in systems where peoples' health and safety can be harmed.
Have you ever actually read your notes on file?
This is basically living in a fantasy world. Errors are routine.
One of my notes in my current medical file states I injured my shoulder playing for a NFL team. I have never played football, and certainly not at a professional level. Fixing it is sort of like trying to fix your credit report - you supposedly get it done, and then 6mo later the same error pops back up again.
Ironically the reason this note exists is very similar to a way an AI scribe would misinterpret a conversation.
