Ask a physician where the day actually goes and the answer is rarely “diagnosis.” It’s documentation, prior authorizations, inbox messages, and the slow friction of systems that don’t talk to each other. That’s the unglamorous truth about AI’s first durable foothold in care delivery: it isn’t replacing clinical judgment, it’s clawing back the hours around it.

This piece is about that shift — from ambient documentation, to inbox triage, to genuine decision support — and what has to be true for any of it to survive contact with a real clinic.
