During a patient-doctor consultation the system generates notes and a referral letter (if needed) for the doctor to review and use.

Intent

The AI system improves note-taking efficiency and thoroughness.

AI Workflow

Input

With patient approval the patient-doctor consultation is recorded and passed to the AI system.

Output

Clinician reviews/edits notes and adds them to the chart; if a referral is appropriate clinician reviews/edits the letter before sending.

Human Oversight Level

Human-Led with AI-Assistance

Institutional Oversight Examples

  • Digital clinical safety practices (industry standard)
  • Data protection (regulation)
  • Equality and health impact assessment (regulation)

Risk

Clinicians could become over-reliant on the system for documentation.
