From the post they're replying to:

(Somewhere, a medical liability insurance actuary just woke up in a cold sweat)

Yeah, personally I'd be looking for a second opinion.

I understood the entire purpose of the tool to log existing conversation (which includes the assessment and plan, since your doctor should tell you about it verbally, regardless of AI use), so "coming up" is really "transcribing".

Someone who've used to tool probably knows best though, I'm just going by what the article states.

A more accurate phrasing would be “decent job extracting a medical assessment and plan in medical language from a layman’s terms explanation to the patient”.
