AI Use in Patient Care

At Bronson, we are committed to using technology responsibly to improve patient care, enhance safety and support our healthcare teams. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the tools we may use to help clinicians deliver high-quality, personalized care.

We understand that patients and families may have questions about how AI is used and how their privacy is protected. This page explains Bronson's approach to AI and our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety, security and patient trust.

How AI Supports Patient Care

Supporting Clinical Decision-Making

AI tools can help analyze large amounts of health information, identify patterns and provide insights that support healthcare professionals in diagnosing and treating patients.

Improving Efficiency

AI may assist with administrative tasks, documentation and workflow management, helping providers spend more time focused on patient care.

Enhancing Quality and Safety

Some AI technologies can help identify potential risks, support preventive care efforts and improve the consistency of healthcare delivery.

A Tool, Not a Replacement

AI does not replace your doctor, nurse or care team. Clinical decisions are always made by qualified healthcare professionals who consider your unique health needs, medical history and treatment goals.

Protecting Your Health Information

Bronson is committed to protecting the privacy and security of patient information.

Any AI tool used within our organization must meet established requirements for:

  • Patient privacy and confidentiality
  • Cybersecurity and data protection
  • Clinical safety and effectiveness
  • Regulatory and legal compliance
  • Ethical and responsible use

Patient information remains protected under applicable privacy laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is artificial intelligence (AI)?

Artificial intelligence refers to computer systems that can analyze information, recognize patterns and support tasks that typically require human judgment. In healthcare, AI can help clinicians review information more efficiently and identify insights that may assist in patient care.

Does AI make decisions about my care?

No. AI may provide information or recommendations, but healthcare decisions are made by your physician and care team. AI is a support tool, not a substitute for clinical expertise.

Is my health information shared or sold to AI companies?

No. Bronson does not sell patient health information. Any technology partners that support approved healthcare operations must meet strict privacy, security and contractual requirements designed to protect patient information.

How does Bronson protect patient data when using AI?

Patient information used with approved AI technologies is protected through security controls, privacy safeguards, review processes and legal agreements consistent with healthcare regulations and organizational policies.

Who oversees AI use at Bronson?

Bronson evaluates AI technologies through governance, privacy, security

AI-Assisted Clinical Documentation

Some Bronson providers may use AI-assisted documentation tools during patient visits. These tools help create draft clinical notes, allowing providers to focus more attention on patients and less time on documentation.

How does AI-assisted documentation work?

With your knowledge and consent, a documentation tool may capture the conversation during your visit and generate a draft note. Your healthcare provider reviews, edits and approves the note before it becomes part of your medical record.

Why is this technology used?

The technology helps improve documentation efficiency and allows providers to focus more attention on patient conversations.

Is participation required?

No. If you do not want an AI-assisted documentation tool used during your visit, please tell your care team. Your care will not be affected.

How is my privacy protected?

Any recordings or transcripts used by approved documentation technologies are managed according to applicable privacy, security and retention requirements.

Our Commitment

Bronson believes that technology should strengthen the relationship between patients and caregivers, not replace it. As AI technologies continue to evolve, we remain committed to using them responsibly, transparently and in ways that advance our mission of providing exceptional care.
