AI is an assistive tool at best but it can probably speed up by reflowing text. I use dragon dictation with one of the Philips microphones and it makes enough mistakes that I would probably spend the same time editing/proofing. Had a good example yesterday where it missed a key NOT in an impression.

As aside, the after work is what burns out physicians. There is time after the visit to do a note, 5 min for a very simple is reasonable to create dictate fax do the work flow for billing and request a follow up within a given system. A new consult might take 10 min between visits if you have time.

For after hours, ER is in my opinion a bad example because when you are done, you are done.

Take a chronic disease speciality or GP and it is hours of paperwork after clinic to finish notes (worse if teaching students), triage referrals, deal with patient phone calls that came in, deal with results and act in them, read faxes etc. I saw my last patient ~430 yesterday and left for home at 7 dealing with notes and stuff that came in since Thursday night.
