Hi, I’m Michael H. Cohen. I’m founding attorney at Cohen Healthcare Law Group. We provide legal strategies and solutions to businesses that accelerate health and wellness.

Today’s video is about healthcare and FDA legal pitfalls. Why AI and web searches can’t replace a healthcare attorney. I still have my job, okay?

With the increasing availability of online resources and AI tools, it’s really tempting for healthcare business to turn to these resources for quick legal answers. The problem is. Legal advice, it ain’t that fast and it’s a lot of interpretation, so what you get from these resources can fall short. I know people have been like passing around what’s the corporate path of medicine in 50 states.

It used to be you needed a paralegal and a research assistant and somebody to really go through and get all that detail. If you look at some of these rules that have I don’t know, 10 different parts. Certainly reading HIPAA, there’s dozens and dozens of gears. Things that you have to do, and they actually require interpretation and implementation and those are things that are very difficult to do unless you have an experienced human eye that knows how to tailorize these things.

Tailorize, I even made that up. Tailor these tools for your business. Consent forms. You can get templates, you can get templates before AI. But the thing is, you got to tweak them and you, we go back and forth with the provider, with the healthcare business. Same with contracts. Contracts, you can generate contracts.

Heck, I’ve generated amount of forms looking at the internet even before AI, no big deal, right? I’m a lawyer, so I especially know what to look for. The challenge is one comma, one semi-colon. If that’s off, the whole thing is off, right? Big litigation. In my practice. I have a colleague and he quoted something and he put the ellipsis somewhere and the other attorney didn’t like it. Blargh! complaint! Let’s go to the regulators, go after this attorney!

Why? Litigation can be aggressive. But the point is, there’s not only a level of precision, but there’s a level of judgment as to where things go. So really, you deserve the investment to get the right advice. You shouldn’t just grab stuff off the internet and I don’t know, there’s some things that you just can’t get off the internet.

Still rely on human judgment, human advice, human experience, and that’s not just patterned recognition, it’s also something innate in us and anticipating what might come down the curve. And that’s what you do for your business strategy. You can get a business plan generated, but who’s going to decide which of the marketing strategies you’re going to go for?

It’s not just going to be what’s most probabilistic. So those are some reasons why at this juncture of human evolution, you need the human touch, and that’s what we’re here for.
