Chart from the UK Financial Times comparing countries level of lock down stringency. New Zealand in grey is considerably lower for most of that time.

There are products that do this very thing and promote themselves on this basis - seamlessness. But modern doctors are trained in data guardianship and have a visceral reaction to outside systems having access to our patient notes. I think this is why Heidi has risen to the top of the pile for us.

We get warnings on day 13 for the 14 day delete. But yeah, the busy clinician phenomenon is the underlying issue. My biggest concern in all of this is it’ll be pushed on us so that we can be even busier. I’m on board with this in order to make my life easier, not cram more in!

It’s possible to design an AI notes transcription system to copy it directly into the notes immediately and then delete the data from outside of the system but this would mean giving access to the patient notes and I would not prepared to do that at this stage.

The deidentified transcript and note is stored on Heidi’s regional server, in our case Australia (Sydney I believe) until it is deleted or autodeleted. Keeping it there at all is only to give time to copy it into the notes or convert it into a referral letter etc.

Sent by the highest of industry standard protocols (ISO27001, SOC2). Once the note is transferred into the patient management system it is stored wherever your patient management system stores its data. (Local server or local cloud usually).

I have mine set to 14 days but the note that it generated from the transcript is manually copied into the patient’s file at the time of the consult or just after. It’s not a seamless process, but it’s highly secure.

Heidi doesn’t record audio at all. It writes a transcript as you talk without saving any audio data. The transcript is anonymized before it gets sent from the device and only get stored for a specified number of days.

And yet here I am out on yesterday‘s run. What a difference a day makes.

And a bit further along.

She was the candidate of the centre left and the best likely chance of a comparatively mediocre bunch.

Barker is in.

Me too! Something to do with my father issues I think.
I’m not a Jared Leto fan but I’m willing to give the new one a go.

We hardly knew ya.
