Before using AI at work
Can I paste a patient chart into a chatbot?
Only use systems and workflows your employer approves for HIPAA and patient information; this general handout needs no chart.
Can AI write my handoff?
Follow your unit documentation policy and verify every clinical fact in the approved record system.
What if a patient cannot read the handout?
Use approved interpreter and accessibility services and confirm understanding using your unit process.
Can a tool decide which symptom is urgent?
Use clinical assessment and established escalation protocols rather than generated triage advice.
