Patient letters shouldn't contain claims nobody said. That's why our doctors use Dict8ion
This week ABC News reported an AI medical scribe fabricated a claim of illegal drug use in a patient's file. It made it into a signed specialist letter and out to the patient's GP before anyone caught the error. The patient only found out by reading her own post-op letter.
AHPRA's position is clear: clinicians must check every AI output before it goes out. But "check it" only works if checking is actually built into the workflow, not left to chance on a busy day.
That's the gap Dict8ion closes. We're not an ambient AI scribe listening in on consults. Doctors dictate the way they already do, and every letter comes back as a draft ready to proof, not a finished document that ships itself. Human review isn't a setting you can skip. It's the process.
This is why our doctors use Dict8ion: smarter. faster. more organised.
