Understanding Artifical Intelligence (AI) at RCBM

You may notice a message in some of our Zoom appointments indicating that the "AI summary" is turned on. But what does this mean? This feature generates a concise and secure summary of the visit, helping your provider accurately document your concerns, symptoms, and treatment plan. By minimizing the time spent on notetaking, we can focus more on actively listening to you and addressing your questions.

As always, your privacy remains our top priority. Our Zoom platform is HIPAA-compliant, which means the AI tool follows strict HIPAA and data privacy standards. Any content generated is treated with the same level of confidentiality as your medical records.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

After all, your emotional well-being is the most important Valentine you can give yourself!
