This webinar explores a practical ethical framework for understanding how AI is reshaping healthcare, with a focus on clinical practice and clinical documentation. Using the SPECTRAILS model, the session examines interconnected dimensions such as privacy, transparency, equity, responsibility, and labor, and how they play out in real-world examples. Participants will consider the trade offs between efficiency and clinical judgment, especially in the use of AI tools like clinical scribes, and reflect on how AI can both support and potentially undermine patient centered care. The goal is to equip clinicians and leaders with a structured way to surface, analyze, and justify ethical decisions when adopting AI in their own settings.
