This is absolutely horrible advice. If you do this you will over time experience worse health care.

Documentation errors have always been an issue. They were when there were paper charts, or human transcriptionists, or when manually typing into the EMR, or when using speech recognition (which is AI/ML!) to do the typing for you.

Not all e-scribes use LLMs, but most of them do rely on ambient audio recordings for speech recognition, which nowadays runs entirely locally. That text then needs to be processed into your clinical documentation, and there are tons of ways to do that (including LLM processing).

The author has obviously never talked to clinicians or hospital administrators about the challenges of maintaining clinical documentation, and knows little to nothing about the reality of software that runs in clinical contexts.
