Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used for clinical decision support, direct-to-consumer patient interactions, and healthcare operations. Healthcare organizations, medical practices, and individual clinicians continue to explore using AI in clinical care, patient engagement, and operational workflows. A complement to The Doctors Company’s AI Scribe Risk Mitigation Checklist for Practices and Clinicians, this checklist translates the legal, ethical, and clinical decision-maker responsibilities for using AI tools into practical action items to help support the safe, legal, and ethical use of AI while reducing liability exposure.
The guidelines suggested here are not rules, do not constitute legal advice, and do not ensure a successful outcome. The ultimate decision regarding the appropriateness of any treatment must be made by each healthcare provider considering the circumstances of the individual situation and in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the care is rendered.
