Many Woodward residents first suspect a problem when follow-up visits don’t add up—e.g., the operative record doesn’t align with what you were told, imaging reports raise questions, or discharge documents refer to automated summaries and workflows.
AI may show up in different ways:
- Generated or assisted notes that don’t match the timeline of events
- Automated imaging or measurement references used in clinical decisions
- Decision-support outputs referenced in charting
- Communication gaps created by templated documentation
Even if the complication was rare or “known risk,” you still may have options if the care fell below the standard expected of a reasonably careful provider.
