The Health Care focus is excellent, and focusing on what’s being used in Charlotte is vital.
The use of AI to help doctors do their work poses questions for me. I know doctors are busy, too busy to engage with patients and overburdened by paperwork. I am old. I remember when the doctor made house calls and came to the hospital to see me. This is gone now and may be gone forever.
This pushing doctors to meet their daily work quota of patients, limiting the amount of time they can spend with their patients, the larger medical practice owned by the big hospital companies and corporations and the insurance companies stop doctors from doing their jobs. They are then forced to use AI. The AI is useful as a tool. I will always cheer new technology for improving healthcare and health outcomes. And nothing will ever take away the personal interactions between patients and their doctors. The rush to make money is overtaking quality healthcare.
The article points out the flaws of using the AI. It also points out the positives of using AI. I hope further reports follow up on the gaps in using AI and how these problems are being solved at the local level.

I have occasionally used the record app on my pone, with my physician approval, in order to have a record of the encounter. If a patient has no partner/friend to accompany them to the consultation as a note taker and listener then it is imperative to have a reliable record of that encounter. It is amazing the things I forget or misconstrue when relying on memory alone. Doctor notes available to the patient are a summary and rarely complete as a note taker or recording device allows.
