Twenty years after President Bush laid out his vision for electronic health records, the U.S. has spent $100 billion for systems that keep doctors and nurses glued to their screens
Electronic health records when used appropriately are miles better than paper. More than half the article talks about the benefits before noting the two problems that paper does not solve. Which is crossing records from one system to another and the bloat that has been added as different specialties need to input different things. There will always be room for improvement but saying EHRs are a problem fully neglects that they are still a massive improvement.

My fiancé works at a vet clinic that uses it and she says the doctors love it. The customers, however, don’t like that there’s an AI that listens to their visit so they just say it’s “software”
Transcription software has existed for decades and has no need for AI. It doesn’t need to interpret anything you’re saying, shoving AI into it is literally just making things worse.

You really gotta hope those 5-10% LLM interpretive miss rares don’t hit your particular case.
Also if it fucks up, the doctor is still liable for malpractice right? Or do they get to kick that ball down into the abyss of trying to get LLM companies to take responsibility for their products.
teledoc is eliminating doctors being able to pratice elsehwere, or privately, its pretty severe that you wont get quality healthcare at all.
