This takes away from slowing down to learn core medical skills. Hospitals and clinics will have some bean counter enforce it's use for speed and to meet quotas but ignore that sometimes important problems just require time with a patient.

My assumption is that these tools won't be used for the doctors benefit but for administration to push expectations that will result in a worse level of care between a patient and doctor. They already have and will continue to become mandatory and that's a problem if it pushes away good doctors who don't need them.

The best work I've seen anywhere is from people who know their job so well, they don't have to look something up. They troubleshoot it without sitting at a computer or opening their phone, but drawing on experience they gained because they put in the time to understand instead of something shitting it into their lap.
