You're both correct. My wife is a psychiatrist. I'm friends with several doctors through her.

Everyone hates notes. However, there are already a bunch of dictation services that help write notes more efficiently. They absolutely work well enough.

Adoption and funding is the primary blocker. When my wife works at facilities that have M-Modal, she's 80%+ faster. However, she works at many, who despite knowing the benefits, simply don't care to spend the time, money, or resources on implementing scribe/dictation services.
