The union rep gets it - people improvise when you cut their tools and then threaten discipline for improvising.
That memo is how you make staff hide things instead of asking for help.
The scarier part though is that LLM-written clinical notes probably look fine. That's the whole problem. I built a system where one AI was scoring another AI's work, and it kept giving high marks because the output read well. I had to make the scorer blind to the original coaching text before it started catching real issues. Now imagine that "reads well, isn't right" failure mode in clinical documentation.
Nobody's re-reading the phrasing until a patient outcome goes wrong.
Physicians need to have it pounded into them that every hallucination is downstream harm. AI has no place in medicine. If they insist on it, then all transcripts must be stored with the raw audio. Which should be accessible side by side, with lines of transcript time coded. It's the only way to actually use these safely, while guarding against hallucinations.
ASR models can output a confidence score along with the text, but it is rarely used in the UI to display the results.. or maybe lost entirely in a subsequent LLM layer.
