So the note has to weave all of that together into a template that we are comfortable with.

And these tools now do it extraordinarily well.

It saves me maybe a minute of time, not that much, but more importantly, I'm no longer that doctor looking down at my keyboard during our time together.

I'm looking at you and really engaged in the conversation.

This has really been the first AI tool that took medicine by storm.

And I think quite smartly on the part of the healthcare organizations, doctors and nurses, but also the companies, because it's an easy win.

It's something that satisfies everybody.

The risk is relatively low.

And for doctors, it's like, oh, my goodness, I don't need to retire next year.

This time, in part because we've screwed up digital transformation in health care so many times, I think everybody's coming in with their eyes open.

And a little bit more strategic, you don't threaten the doctor saying we're going to take over your job.

You are the doctor's friend.

You're going to make their lives easier and better.

And you're not going to do anything that if stuff goes wrong, you're going to kill somebody.

That is a digital scribe.

That is reviewing the chart for me.

That is helping me create my bill.

That is helping a patient schedule an appointment.

It's all that kind of low-hanging fruit.

So does that mean that you, when you're seeing patients in the hospital now, will take a chart and feed it through your favorite AI agent and ask for a summary and walk into a room much more prepared?
