We have tested some AI models at my hospital for use with patients. The ones we have demo'd and tested used the engines of the larger ones but had their own database that was tailored for healthcare. It was not used as a live sit in that was taking everything in. Instead, it was used to help interpret patient history with current symptoms to see if there were patterns that the doctors would potentially miss. It was never given information that could tie it to a patient.

Even when we were going through the demonstrations, it was never sold as a tool to diagnose the patient for the doctor. It was specifically for reference. We use it in IT, Administration, Finance, Patient Accounts... just about every department you can think of uses A.I. in some capacity. It's policy for protected information to never be used when using A.I. But like any program, it's only as protected as the knob using it.

So far, the only portion of the tool the doctors positively reacted to is the dictation part. It worked leaps and bounds better than any speech to text software we have tried.

It is still in limbo at this point as they keep bouncing contracts back and forth with language changes that each sides legal teams make with each bounce. But like it or not, it's coming, hopefully to everyone's advantage.
