Mandatory Human Review Required
All content generated by the Motics Scribe Agent must be reviewed and validated by a qualified healthcare professional before use in patient care, clinical documentation, billing, or any official purpose.
AI-generated content may contain errors that could affect patient safety if not corrected.
| Content Type | Review Required | Potential Errors |
|---|---|---|
| Transcriptions | Always | Misheard words, incorrect medical terms, speaker attribution errors |
| Clinical notes (SOAP) | Always | Missing information, incorrect interpretations, factual errors |
| Clinical coding (ICD/CPT) | Always | Inappropriate codes, missing codes, incorrect specificity |
Not for Emergency Use
The Motics Scribe Agent is not designed for emergency medical situations.
In any emergency: dial 999 (UK) or 112 (EU) immediately. Do not rely on AI systems for urgent clinical decisions.
Not Clinical Decision Support
This platform does not provide and must never be used for:
- Diagnostic recommendations or suggestions
- Treatment planning or therapeutic decisions
- Drug prescribing or dosing advice
- Triage or clinical prioritisation
All clinical decisions must be made by qualified healthcare professionals using their professional judgement.
7.2 Specific Errors Requiring Clinician Correction
Transcription Errors
| Error Type | Example | Clinician Action |
|---|---|---|
| Medication name errors | "Metformin" transcribed as "Metoprolol" | Verify all medication names against your knowledge |
| Dosage errors | "500mg" transcribed as "50mg" | Confirm all dosages before documentation |
| Negation errors | "No chest pain" transcribed as "Chest pain" | Check all negative findings are captured correctly |
| Similar-sounding terms | "Hypertension" vs "Hypotension" | Review clinical terms for accuracy |
| Numeric errors | "BP 120/80" transcribed as "BP 12/80" | Verify all vital signs and measurements |
Clinical Note Generation Errors
| Error Type | Example | Clinician Action |
|---|---|---|
| Hallucinated content | AI adds examination findings not mentioned in consultation | Remove any content not from actual consultation |
| Omitted content | Important symptom or finding not included | Add missing clinically relevant information |
| Incorrect attribution | Patient history attributed to current presentation | Correct timeline and source of information |
| Assessment errors | AI suggests diagnosis not supported by findings | Ensure assessment reflects your clinical judgement |
| Plan inconsistencies | Treatment plan inconsistent with assessment | Align plan with your intended clinical management |
Clinical Coding Errors
| Error Type | Example | Clinician Action |
|---|---|---|
| Over-coding | More specific code suggested than evidence supports | Use code matching documented evidence |
| Under-coding | Generic code when specific diagnosis documented | Select most specific appropriate code |
| Incorrect codes | Wrong code family for condition | Verify code matches the actual diagnosis |
| Missing codes | Secondary diagnoses not coded | Add all relevant diagnostic codes |
| Incorrect laterality | "Left knee" coded as "Right knee" | Verify laterality matches documentation |
7.3 Review Checklist
Before approving any AI-generated content, clinicians should verify:
