Patients must be told when AI documents visits

Healthcare providers and facilities in Rhode Island must tell patients when they use AI to write visit notes. This applies to in-person and telehealth visits. The notice is only about using AI for documentation. The law defines AI broadly and covers physicians, nurses, dentists, and other licensed health workers and facilities. It takes effect upon passage and does not set exact wording, format, or timing.
