OntarioMD: AI Privacy Training for Clinicians & Healthcare

VocoLife News, OntarioMD has launched new online Privacy and Security Training for the Healthcare Sector. This training addresses the growing use of Artificial Intelligence, or AI, by clinicians. The course content is redesigned for ease of use. It includes practical information and resources for safely using AI tools. What's interesting is that administrative burden is a major challenge in the health system, especially for family physicians. AI scribes show promise in helping with this by generating clinical notes during patient visits. This can reduce documentation time, allowing clinicians to focus more on patient care. However, a recent survey found that 49% of respondents are most concerned about medico-legal and privacy risks with AI scribes. The new course offers guidance for clinicians interested in AI but cautious about patient data and security. The bottom line is that understanding privacy, security, and governance requirements is essential for using AI tools responsibly in clinical practice.
