PA here but currently on medical leave due to a serious medical illness in myself. As a result I’ve had a ton of appointments with various specialists, PCP etc.
I keep finding significant errors in my medical record from ambient listening software. Things like major discrepancies in start date of symptoms, referring to things as a pre-existing chronic issue rather than a new acute problem, etc.
If I didn’t need these notes for the sake of medical leave and short-term disability, it wouldn’t bother me as much. Mildly infuriating, but not the end of the world.
Now my record is being scrutinized, and these obvious errors are creating so many hurdles. To make matters worse, other docs/APPs are copying and pasting these errors into their own notes.
Such a headache. I can barely take care of myself right now, let alone having to go request multiple addendums and fight with the disability insurance.
If you use ambient listening, PLEASE proofread your notes. That’s all.
