> Yes, a tired doctor sucks. But a tired doctor who already has the patient's state loaded into their head may still be better than doctor who is completely fresh in both senses.

AI fixes this. Imagine the boot time of loading a patient's state from dozens of labs and files vs. a summary that gets you to exactly what they're going to end up remembering anyways. And if a doctor finds something interesting that the AI doesn't flag, they should be flagging it in the chart for the next doctor anyways.

Jesus Christ you have to be fucking kidding me.

Your solution to information loss during doctor handover is to insert a brainless hallucinating program with zero responsibility into the middle?

In my experience, AI summarization is a pretty lame application. I don’t really need a block of potentially wrong, rephrased text. I’ve got a feeling that the same applies to healthcare.

If charting was sufficient, doctor (and nurse!) handover wouldn't be a problem.
