Frequently Asked Questions
AI systems are trained on thousands of expertly graded notes and use validated rubrics. Faculty oversight and review are still crucial to ensure the AI's feedback and scores are reliable and relevant to the teaching objective.
No, AI is an assistant that provides immediate, objective and scalable feedback on clarity and completeness. Faculty still offer nuanced, high-level feedback on clinical reasoning and communication, although with appropriate training in the near future, we expect NoteSage to reasonably approximate some types of high-level feedback that faculty would provide, including those related to communication.
Data is handled securely on FERPA-compliant servers. The AI system processes the text, but the data is anonymized and not used for model training or shared improperly.
Yes, NoteSage relies on modern Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze free text, recognizing and assessing key clinical elements regardless of minor variations in format or phraseology.
NoteSage is designed to minimize bias by focusing on clinical content against a standardized rubric, not on linguistic style. AI output is constantly monitored to identify and mitigate any potential systemic biases.
Yes. NoteSage is a tool, not the final authority and faculty maintain the role of final arbiter. If you believe it missed a key point our portal has features that permit faculty to override its decision.
With the use of NoteSage, the major benefit is speed. AI typically provides detailed, objective feedback (e.g., grading to a rubric) within minutes of submission. This allows faculty to quickly review and reflect on a set of notes so as to effectively debrief to students while the encounter is still fresh.
NoteSage evaluates both. It checks format/completeness against a rubric and uses algorithms to assess the coherence and justification of the students’ diagnosis and plan, which reflects their reasoning.
