House Bill No. [insert number] enacts a new provision, R.S. 37:22.1, which mandates that healthcare professionals in Louisiana must verbally disclose to patients the use of any recording device, software, or service that will transcribe parts of their appointment or treatment using artificial intelligence. This requirement aims to ensure transparency regarding the use of technology in patient care.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that healthcare professionals who fail to comply with this disclosure requirement may face disciplinary action from their professional licensing board. However, it also provides that these professionals will be immune from civil liability unless there is evidence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. This balance seeks to protect both patient rights and healthcare providers in the context of evolving technology in medical practices.
