Use of AI in consultations

Papanui Medical Centre allows team members to use AI to assist with clinical note taking, as well as administrative tasks (e.g. report writing). Everyone who uses AI must meet the terms and conditions of the tool.

We do not allow clinicians to use generative AI for clinical decision making.

Before introducing generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools, we assess and mitigate the risks to ensure privacy and safety are protected. We comply with New Zealand legislation governing the use of AI, in particular the Privacy Act 2020 and its Information Privacy Principles (IPPs).

We recognise that this is rapidly-evolving technology, and reassess our processes as needed.
