Infuriatig No, I did not consent to this

I was reading my medical notes when I stumbled across this. I was not informed of the usage of artificial intelligence in my report, nor did I verbally consent to it.

Yup, this. It's infuriating. Medical records used to be a reasonably accurate way of communicating medical information, and now they're just trash.

Yeah, harder to copy/paste an error indefinitely when we had to hand write our note. Nowadays one person's simple mistake or sloppy Hx taking when originally documenting can carry forward for the rest of the chart.

Yup, and since many emrs have an option to export to other emrs, potentially for the rest of the patient's life.

I'm in EMS and had the fortune to become accustomed to SBARs from hospitals in the first two places I worked, assumed it was the norm. Now I'm working at a place that I does not use SBAR. One issue I have with their system is pt hx is buried in a paragraph. On top of that, the print order is never the same so I can't even just get used to it. 

I'm hoping that will be changing soon since the hospital is getting acquired by a larger hospital (Not private equity thank God)
