This is even more frightening because these AI models can exhibit, problematic, behavior. A friend of mine works with EMR systems and they had one that would look at patient billpay and late arrivals to appointments. Lets just say it stated prioritizing patients with cars and money for prime appointment slots. It only took a month he said before providers started noticing they were seeing class stratification in their practices.
That is just a extreme one- but also consider that having a relative or parent who has substance abuse issues will also knock you into a higher risk category in most EMR software, sins of the father I guess?
