Consent for AI-Assisted Charting, Transcription, and Intake Analysis

1. Purpose

FocusPath uses secure artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools to assist clinicians in recording, transcribing, and summarising telehealth consultations. These tools are designed to improve documentation efficiency and accuracy while maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality and professional oversight, as required by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the UK GDPR.

2. Nature of AI Involvement

Your teleconsultation may be automatically transcribed using a secure third-party tool (e.g., Zoom for Healthcare).
AI models may analyse the transcript and intake information to generate a draft clinical note or patient summary for clinician review.
All AI-generated materials are reviewed and finalised by a licensed clinician before being added to your medical record.

3. Use of Data

Your information may be processed by approved third-party service providers (such as transcription or AI summarisation tools, including but not limited to Zoom and OpenAI).
Where data are processed outside the UK (e.g., in the United States or EEA), FocusPath ensures contractual and technical safeguards consistent with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
De-identified data may be used internally for clinical quality improvement, model evaluation, and system development.

4. Privacy and Security

All identifiable data are encrypted and stored securely within FocusPath’s UK-based AWS environment.
AI outputs used for system improvement are anonymised and cannot be linked to individual patients.
You may withdraw consent for AI-assisted processing at any time by contacting support@fastreat.co.uk

5. Your Acknowledgment

By continuing with your consultation, you acknowledge and consent that:
a. AI tools may assist in documentation and transcription during your visit.
b. De-identified data may be used to enhance AI tools.
c. A qualified clinician remains fully responsible for the accuracy of your medical record.
d. AI outputs do not constitute medical advice or diagnosis.
