Ontario auditors find doctors' AI note takers routinely blow basic facts

Anecdotally, we use an LLM note-taker at work for meetings. I had to intervene recently because our CIO was VERY angry at our vendor for something they promised to do and never did. He wasn't at the meeting where the "promise" was made. I was. They never promised anything, and the discussion was significantly more nuanced than what the LLM wrote in the detailed summary.

In other cases, I have seen it miss the mark when the discussion is not very linear. For example, if I am going back and forth with the SOC team about their response to a recent alert/incident. It'll get the gist of it right, but if you're relying on it for accuracy, holy hell does it miss the mark.

I can see the LLM take great notes for that initial nurse visit when you're at the hospital: summarize your main issue, weight, height, recent changes, etc. I would not trust it when it comes to a detailed and technical back-and-forth with the doctor. I would think for compliance reasons hospitals would not want to alter the records and only go by transcripts, but what do I know...

> 60% of evaluated AI Scribe systems mixed up prescribed drugs in patient notes, auditors say

Not mentioned, as far as I can see: the comparative human mistake rate.

Having seen a lot of medical records, 60% sounds about normal lol.

Arodex•24m ago
But who is responsible is different.

(And if you already see 60% error rates in standard, pre-AI note taking, how does that not translate into many deaths and injury? At least one country's health system in the world should have caught that)

cyanydeez•16m ago
Yeah, the problem is the health system has no sacrificial goat if the AI note taker provides the wrong detail. The last thing we want is CTO being responsible!
bluefirebrand•2m ago
I'm not convinced the CTO would be held accountable either.

I do wonder if people would be pushing AI so hard if their organizations were planning to hold them accountable for mistakes the AI made

I bet if that were the case we'd see a lot slower rollout of AI systems

> how does that not translate into many deaths and injury?

Because most of it is just written down and never looked at again until there’s a lawsuit or something.

Hobadee•14m ago
The AI note taker we use at work records the meeting as well, and each note it takes about the meeting has a timestamp link that takes you directly there in the recording so you can check it yourself. While I'm sure a solution like this is more complicated in a HIPPAA environment, something like this is critical for things as important as healthcare.
andy99•3m ago
That’s only useful if it gets used. Or put another way, if you have to go into the meeting to fact check the notes, the AI summary is useless.
