Use of Artificial Intelligence for Clinical Documentation
To support high-quality care and reduce administrative burden, our team may use secure artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist with clinical documentation. These tools help generate or refine clinical notes based on information collected during your visit.
We use AI strictly to improve documentation accuracy and allow our staff to remain fully present with patients during care. AI processing is conducted in a manner consistent with applicable privacy laws and our privacy practices outlined in this policy. Only authorized healthcare providers and staff involved in your care have access to documentation produced with the assistance of AI, and such use does not change how your personal health information is collected, used, or shared beyond what is described in this policy.

Access to and accuracy of your information
Queen City Nurse Practitioner strives to keep your personal information accurate. We have implemented technology, management processes and policies to maintain customer data accuracy. We will provide you with access to your information, including making reasonable effort to provide you with online access and the opportunity to change your information.
