Abstract:
Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool that can potentially transform the diagnostic, therapeutic, and administrative practice of dermatology. Physicians are expected to complete electronic health record documentation in a timely fashion, prepare and submit previous authorizations, code for billing accurately, compose physician consultation letters, create patient education handouts, and communicate with our patients via the electronic health record. Streamlining and automating these time-intensive administrative responsibilities and tasks would likely reduce physician burnout and augment physician satisfaction at work, and enhance access to care by creating more time to care for patients. Herein we discuss the ethical issues of autonomy, informed consent, privacy, accuracy and safety regarding the use of artificial intelligence to assist us in these tasks.
