AI Scribes at Fraser Street Medical: Enhancing Your Care

What is an AI Scribe?
An AI scribe is an advanced tool that securely transcribes and organizes medical notes during your visit. This improves documentation, streamlines care, and allows your clinician to focus more on you.

Why FSM Uses AI Scribes
More focus on you – less time spent typing
Accurate medical records – complete and thorough documentation
Reduced clinician fatigue – better focus and decision-making
Efficient visits – streamlined workflows for optimized care

Is My Information Private and Secure?
Absolutely. Our AI scribes comply with PIPEDA, ensuring your health information is encrypted, confidential, and only accessible by authorized staff. Data is not stored beyond what is necessary for documentation.

Do I Need to Sign a Consent Form?
Yes, but only once. FSM is gradually sending consent forms via email, and your clinician will always inform you when an AI scribe is in use.

What Do I Need to Do?
Nothing! Your visit remains the same. If you have any questions, feel free to ask your clinician.

Can I Opt Out?
Yes. If you prefer not to use an AI scribe, let your clinician know, and we will document your visit manually.

Is It Accurate?
Yes. AI scribes generate initial notes, but your clinician always reviews and proofreads them to ensure accuracy before finalizing.

How Does This Benefit You?
More engaged care – your clinician listens attentively
Improved patient experience – less distraction, more interaction
Better continuity of care – accurate records for future visits
