What Happens When Medical AI Hallucinates?
AI hallucinations in medical documentation create fabricated diagnoses, invented medications, and false clinical findings that become part of the permanent medical record. This isn't a software bug — it's a patient safety crisis that can trigger unnecessary procedures and medicolegal liability.
What Can Go Wrong
- Fabricated diagnoses become part of the permanent medical record
- Invented medications can lead to dangerous drug interactions
- Hallucinated findings can trigger unnecessary procedures
- False documentation creates medicolegal liability
How Safe Is RapidNoteMD?
10,000 adversarial tests with zero hallucinations detected — a 100% pass rate with 95% statistical confidence. Rigorous validation proves RapidNoteMD's safety.
| Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| Total Adversarial Tests | 10,000 |
| Tests Passed | 10,000 |
| Hallucinations Detected | 0 |
| Pass Rate | 100% |
| Statistical Confidence | 95% CI [99.96%, 100.00%] |
| Upper Bound Hallucination Rate | Below 0.04% |
Statistical Confidence: 95% CI [99.96%, 100.00%]
With 10,000 tests and zero failures, we can state with 95% confidence that the true hallucination rate is below 0.04%.
How Does RapidNoteMD Prevent Hallucinations?
A proprietary adversarial testing methodology with three layers of defense: adversarial test design that targets known AI failure modes, multi-category clinical ambiguity coverage, and zero-tolerance validation where a single hallucination fails the entire suite.
Tests are specifically crafted to trigger hallucination in poorly-designed AI systems. We test the failure modes, not just the happy path.
Our test suite covers multiple categories of clinical ambiguity - from uncertain patient statements to missing data scenarios.
A single hallucination fails the test. We validate that the system never invents diagnoses, medications, findings, or recommendations.
Can RapidNoteMD's Safety Be Independently Verified?
Yes — enterprise customers and third-party auditors can review the complete testing methodology, statistical analysis, and raw results under NDA. Independent attestation letters are available on request.
