Let me tell you about how medical transcriptionists used to do it: Sister in law was one, she didn’t seem to care about HIPAA too much, she and all her colleagues did lose their jobs about a 15-20 years ago when AI transcription software took over their jobs, but before that she was frequently given jobs because her predecessors made serious mistakes in their transcriptions.
I work in the digital handling of PHI (HIPAA regulated) it’s pretty insane what is considered HIPAA protected in that world.
In practice, yeah, real people can’t just be all "oh, that’s a national secret, I can’t tell you anything about my work or the weird worms people had in weirder places…
Speech-to-text (a type of AI) has been around for a fair good years, but now they’re being paired with generative AI. This is the kind of thing that shouldn’t be paired with a generative LLM. A language model to identify words? Yes. Generative? No.
As far as I’m concerned, using AI of any sort inside of a doctor’s office is a grave violation of HIPAA

If she didn’t care about HIPAA, I’m glad she lost the job lol.
If only we could fire AI too.
She’d tell stories (without the names)- many of her colleagues would get deep into the personal details…
I don’t think that’s a hipaa violation, but I’m no expert.
EMTs, etc, do that too. You’d go crazy if you couldn’t.

Ai transcription is everywhere. You cant get away from it

Yes. It technically does improve accuracy (homophone correction, for example) but the occasional errors are worse and way less obvious.
Yeah? Watch me.
Watch me and millions like me push back everywhere and slowly change the world.
