We’re excited to announce that we’re incorporating a new AI scribe tool into our practice!

This innovative technology helps us provide even better care by recording and summarizing conversations between you and Dr. Wood during your appointment.

Here’s what you need to know:

How It Works: The AI scribe records the conversation, creates a transcript, and then generates a summarized note. Dr. Wood reviews and edits this note for accuracy before adding it to your medical record.

Privacy & Security: The AI tool adheres to strict Canadian privacy protection laws and employs robust security measures. Only Dr. Wood will have access to the notes and transcripts.

Data Retention: Recordings are deleted immediately after transcription, and any dictated notes are kept securely for a short time before being deleted.

This tool enhances accuracy and efficiency while upholding the highest standards of privacy and security. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask Dr. Wood at your next appointment.

Thank you for your continued trust and support as we innovate to serve you better!
