Understanding social credit scores in health care enforcement

Internal medicine physician and psychiatrist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses the KevinMD article "The role of social credit scores in the enforcement of health care regulations." They explore the expansion of predictive algorithms like Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMP) in health care, the emergence of social credit scores as tools for assessing physician trustworthiness, the risks of systemic bias and reputational damage, and potential solutions to ensure fair and just enforcement practices. Muhamad offers actionable takeaways for health care providers navigating these evolving regulations and emphasizes the importance of ethical standards in data-driven environments.
