Informed consent
A patient's right to understand and agree to their care, including how a recommendation was reached. With AI involved, this is starting to include knowing that AI played a part and what its role was.
A clinic rolls out an ambient scribe that records the consultation and drafts the note. One physician explains it at the start of every visit, another relies on a sign in the waiting room, and a patient later complains that nobody told her the conversation was being recorded. Agree one script every clinician uses to ask the patient, and anyone with them, before recording starts, covering what the tool does and that they can decline. Record the answer they actually gave in the chart, and make a visit without the scribe easy to run so nobody feels pushed to say yes.
Terms like this come up in real clinical scenarios across the HelloAI courses: bite-sized modules with verifiable certificates. An account takes one minute, no password needed.
