Fraser Street Medical AI Scribe Policy

At Fraser Street Medical (FSM), we are committed to providing high-quality, patient-centered care. To enhance documentation, improve efficiency, and allow clinicians to focus more on patients, FSM will implement AI scribes as part of our medical practice.

1. Purpose

The AI scribe is an advanced tool that securely transcribes and organizes medical notes during patient visits. This technology supports accurate documentation, streamlines workflows, and enhances the overall patient experience.

2. Implementation & Use

  • AI scribes will be used during medical visits to assist clinicians with real-time documentation.
  • Clinicians will review and proofread all AI-generated notes before finalizing records.
  • Patients will be informed when an AI scribe is in use and can request manual documentation if preferred.

3. Privacy & Security

  • AI scribes at FSM comply with PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act).
  • All data is encrypted, confidential, and only accessible by authorized personnel.
  • Patient information will not be stored beyond what is necessary for medical documentation.

4. Patient Consent

  • Patients must provide one-time consent before an AI scribe is used in their care.
  • FSM will gradually introduce consent forms via email and in-person visits.
  • Patients may opt out at any time by informing their clinician.

5. Benefits to Patients

  • More clinician focus – reduced screen time and better patient interaction.
  • More accurate records – complete and well-organized documentation.
  • More efficient visits – streamlined workflows to enhance care delivery.

6. Patient Rights & Opt-Out Policy

  • Patients have the right to decline AI scribe use without any impact on their quality of care.
  • Alternative manual documentation will be provided upon request.

7. Questions & Support

Patients are encouraged to speak with their clinician if they have any concerns or require further information about AI scribes. FSM remains dedicated to innovation, security, and excellence in patient care.
