AI Transcription Tools in Medicine and Dentistry: Risks and Rewards

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) will fundamentally change how medical and dental practitioners create their clinical records, referral letters, and discharge summaries. In this webinar, we will explore how AI transcription tools are impacting clinical practice, highlighting both risks and opportunities.

We will look at the many benefits, such as how AI can make workflows more efficient, giving busy practitioners more time and potentially boosting the accuracy of their documents. We will also discuss the potential medico-legal risks related to consent, data retention, privacy, and inaccurate outputs.

Our speakers will discuss how to use these tools effectively, while avoiding potential pitfalls, helping you integrate AI technology responsibly into your everyday clinical practice.
