AI and medical practice safety

AI scribes and other tools can help documentation, and introduce new privacy, retention, and consent questions. CyberHealth treats AI as its own domain in the practice check.

Approved tools list

Staff should know which AI tools are allowed and that patient information must not go into unapproved consumer apps.

Vendor review

Where is data stored? Retention? Secondary use for training? Access and deletion? Ontario’s AI Scribe Program vendor-of-record list helps, but you still own your configuration.

Recording consent

A consistent script, a way to decline, documentation of consent, and clinician review before signing notes.

Staff rules

Short, written expectations beat assumptions, especially for locums and students.
