Obtaining consent

Posted July 04, 2024

The CMPA has provided guidelines on how to obtain consent from patients. Before beginning the encounter, Doctors should do their best to provide a clear explanation of:

  1. Pippen’s purpose: Pippen’s intended purpose to reduce paperwork for doctors. 
  2. How it works: Pippen uses voice-to-text software and other algorithms to help doctors reduce their paperwork.
  3. Potential uses of any recorded data: Audio files are auto-deleted and transcripts are used by the software to help doctors summarize their notes.

Please feel free to consult your own legal team on how best to obtain consent from patients. Along with a discussion on the software purpose and function, some clinics have opted to include signage in their clinics to increase awareness of the use of AI by their doctor.

This signage is downloadable in .docx here:

Family Doctors Deserve Support

Mounting paperwork and excessive time spent on Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) is a problem across the profession. 94% of family doctors said they are overwhelmed with administrative work that takes up to 40% of their time every week. These issues contribute to a crisis in family medicine, accelerating burnout and family practice closures.

Pippen wants to help.

I have been using Pippen for the past 3 weeks and it has been an absolute game changer for me in regards to my clinical efficiency! My documentation time has been reduced by at least 75%. This allows me to see more patients as well as focus on the patient encounter instead of typing through it. I used to feel exhausted at the end of the day, knowing I have a backlog of notes to document on. With Pippen this issue has disappeared completely! The notes Pippen creates are detailed, organized as a SOAP note, and accurate to the interview. I can't say enough about how significant a shift it's made for me!
