Many clinicians ask for #consent to record appointments.
Do patients?
A 2015 paper found 77% of patients WANT clinics to allow recording.
- 35% CONSIDERED secretly recording
- 15% DID secretly record
"19 (15%) respondents indicated having secretly recorded a clinical encounter and 14 (11%) were aware of someone who had secretly recorded a clinical encounter. 45 (35%) said they would consider recording secretly and 44 (34%) said they would record after asking permission. Totally, 69% of respondents indicated their desire to record clinical encounters, split equally between wanting to do so covertly or with permission."
