Recently, the Hunan Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau issued a new notice, which clearly prohibits Internet hospitals from using artificial intelligence and other technologies to automatically generate prescriptions. This regulation has aroused widespread attention from the society, especially in the context of the increasing popularity of Internet medical services. With the advancement of science and technology, artificial intelligence is becoming more and more widely used in the medical field, but how to balance technological innovation with medical safety has become an urgent problem.
According to the "Notice" issued by the Hunan Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau, Internet hospitals must follow relevant regulations when issuing prescriptions to ensure that the prescription is completed by the doctor who actually receives the doctor. Interviews and communication with patients or their families must also be effective and sufficient. It is absolutely forbidden to use artificial intelligence and other methods that automatically generate prescriptions. It is worth noting that as early as three years ago, it was clearly stipulated that prescriptions must be issued by the doctor and must not be replaced by artificial intelligence. The introduction of this regulation aims to further standardize Internet medical behavior and ensure the safety of patients' medication.
According to Chengdu Business Daily, industry experts pointed out that banning artificial intelligence prescriptions does not mean banning hospitals from using artificial intelligence tools to assist doctors' work. Artificial intelligence still plays an important role in helping doctors perform image analysis and data sorting, but the doctor still needs to make the final decision when it comes to the specific treatment plan and medication decisions of the patients. Such measures are designed to ensure medical safety and patient rights. Experts stress that the application of artificial intelligence should be mainly assistive, rather than replace the professional judgment of doctors.
At the same time, many hospitals have begun to access artificial intelligence tools, such as DeepSeek, which can help doctors analyze cases and identify lesions and improve diagnostic efficiency. However, doctors stress that artificial intelligence is only an auxiliary tool, and the final diagnosis and prescription still need to be made by professional doctors. This "human-machine collaboration" model can not only improve medical efficiency, but also ensure medical quality, and is an important direction for future medical development.
For example, recently, Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital successfully connected to the domestic artificial intelligence model DeepSeek, becoming the first Grade A hospital in the province to realize the intelligence of all medical scenarios. The application of this technology not only promotes the upgrading of patient services, but also greatly improves the efficiency of clinical diagnosis and treatment and hospital management. In terms of patient services, the hospital has established intelligent medical consultants through the DeepSeek big model to provide patients with comprehensive medical consulting services. This move not only improves the patient's medical experience, but also brings new changes to the management and operation of the hospital.
Key points:
Hunan Province clearly prohibits Internet hospitals from using AI to automatically generate prescriptions to ensure that doctors prescribe in person. This regulation aims to regulate Internet medical behavior and ensure the safety of patients' medication.
Experts stress that artificial intelligence should be used as an auxiliary tool, not a replacement for doctors' decision-making. The application of artificial intelligence in the medical field should focus on improving efficiency, and the final medical decisions still need to be made by professional doctors.
Medical advice is for reference only, and patients must follow the doctor's professional judgment to avoid legal risks. While enjoying Internet medical services, patients should also be vigilant to ensure their own medical safety.
