A recent Pew survey shows U.S. patients concerned about their doctors' use of AI. Pew says 72% of U.S. adults think it is extremely or very important that a doctor or other healthcare provider tells them if they are using AI in their healthcare. (16% find it "somewhat" important.) This especially applies to making a diagnosis or analyzing medical scans (81%), but even extends to taking notes during a medical appointment (72%). Readers of our physician practice management weekly will want to hear from experts: - whether these findings comport with your practice experience or expectations; - whether you believe medical practices should preemptively inform patients that they use AI and how they use it, or wait to be asked, or refuse to reveal it; - what upsides and downsides you see to a more transparent or less transparent policy in that regard -- legal, logistical, or ethical.
