I recently built my mom a basic web app to automate building patient evaluations. She has been using paper forms with checkboxes for decades and they started requiring the info in digital format over the last few years. She had been copy and pasting from the digital version of the blank form into MS Word. It was time consuming, but still faster than typing it by hand. To be clear, a paragraph containing sentences is the format medical professionals are required to present this information in. Automating the boilerplate stuff actually gives my mom more time to type in the information that the paper forms don't anticipate and provide actual care to patients. The problem is not automation. The problem is unscrupulous executives who maximization profits at the expense of quality of service. The examples provided in this article are unethical and anyone who is caught dumping irrelevant data into important medical records should be held responsible.
