Safety & ethics

✔ Reviewed by A. Keith Wesley, MD, FACEP, FAEMS, board-certified EMS physician and former State EMS Medical Director (WI, MN) · Updated 2026-10-16 · How we review

• The provider who signs is responsible. AI drafts, humans decide.
• Never enter PHI into tools without a BAA and agency approval.
• AI does not replace protocols, online medical control or clinical judgment.
• Verify every dose, citation and fact. Models hallucinate.
• Watch for bias: test AI output across patient populations.
• Be transparent: follow agency policy on disclosing AI use, and court rules for expert work.
• Report AI errors through your QA/QI process.
