AI-Assisted Documentation

A short exercise. Read the situation, identify what has actually gone wrong, and decide what the clinician owes once they notice.

The situation

A clinician uses an AI note-generation tool that transcribes sessions and produces draft clinical notes. The tool is cloud-based, processes audio in real time, and is produced by a company headquartered outside Canada.

The clinician has not informed clients that sessions are transcribed, has not obtained written consent for this use of their data, and has not verified whether the company meets Canadian privacy legislation requirements.
