AI in the Clinic: What It Can Draft and What It Must Never Decide

Every day, clinicians face a mounting burden of documentation, correspondence, and data entry. AI promises relief, but in a clinic the stakes are uniquely high: one plausible-sounding hallucination, one misplaced decimal, one confidential detail leaked to an unsecured tool can cause real harm. This book is built for practitioners who want the efficiency gains without compromising their professional, ethical, or legal duties. You will learn exactly what an AI assistant can responsibly draft—progress notes, referral letters, patient summaries, discharge instructions—and, just as critically, what it must never decide: diagnoses, treatment plans, medication adjustments, or any judgment that requires your licence. Every chapter includes concrete worked examples, verification protocols tailored to clinical workflows, and plain guidance on patient confidentiality, data protection, and regulatory obligations. No hype, no vendor pitches, no fake case studies. Just the durable skill of briefing a model, checking its output, and knowing when to shut it off. Your professional judgment remains the only one that counts. Part of The AI at Work Library.
