Your doctor uses aurii to help write your notes.
After your visit, your doctor talks through what happened and aurii writes a first draft of the paperwork. Your doctor then reads it, corrects anything that is not right, and signs it. This sheet explains what that means for you.
This practice
What it does
- Your doctor speaks after seeing you. Once your consult is done, your doctor talks through what happened, the same information they would otherwise type up by hand.
- aurii drafts the paperwork. From what your doctor said, aurii writes a first draft of your notes, and any letters to your GP or another doctor involved in your care.
- Your doctor reads, corrects and signs it. Nothing is saved or sent until your doctor has read the draft, fixed anything that is not right, and signed it in their own name.
- The software does not decide anything. It does not diagnose you and it does not choose your treatment. Your doctor makes every medical decision, as they always have.
Your choice
- You can say no. You can ask your doctor not to use aurii for your visit. Your care is exactly the same either way.
- You can ask questions. If anything here is unclear, ask your doctor. They can explain what aurii wrote and show you your notes.
- You can raise a concern. If you are not happy with how your information is handled, speak to this practice first. You can also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), the government body that oversees privacy in Australia.
Your information
- It stays in Australia. Your information is kept on computers in Sydney, with a backup copy in Melbourne. It does not leave the country.
- It is encrypted. That means it is scrambled and locked, so only the people allowed to see your record can read it.
- Every access is recorded. Each time someone opens your record, that is written down and kept for seven years, so there is a full history of who looked and when.
- It can be deleted. If you ask for your information to be removed, it is destroyed for good, not just hidden from view.
