Please get to know our policies, it will help our team can provide the best possible care to you and all other patients of Fraser Street Medical.

Purpose

Fraser Street Medical (FSM) is committed to innovation, excellence, and optimizing patient care. As part of this commitment, FSM has implemented AI medical scribes to enhance clinical documentation, improve workflow efficiency, and support clinicians in providing patient-centered care.

An AI scribe transcribes and organizes medical notes, letting your clinician focus more on you.

Why FSM Uses AI Scribes
✔ More focus on you, less typing
✔ Accurate medical records
✔ Reduced clinician fatigue
✔ Efficient visits

Is It Accurate?
Yes, AI creates initial notes, but your clinician reviews and proofreads for accuracy.

How Is It Secure?
Your data is encrypted, PIPEDA compliant, and only accessible by authorized staff.

Consent & Control
Consent is required; you can choose not to use an AI scribe if preferred.

Benefits for You
AI scribes allow more engaged care, improving your experience and ensuring better continuity.

Feel free to ask your clinician about how AI scribes improve your care!
