It's going to be baby steps of course. For the specialties that I am most familiar with, note writing will probably be the first thing to be automated. I can feed GPT-4 a garbled mess of a note now and it will make a pretty good note today (a made up visit, with well written examples in the prompt). After Epic gets permission to use real notes, it will be just a stack of dominoes that falls down after that. And it's already happening [1].
Once you can throw crap against a screen and epic makes a decent note out it, history gathering will come next. "GPT-Medical" will go through prior notes and summarize them for the current visit. And after that is fixed, pts will be required to do an interview with "GPT-Medical" before the visit. Of course there will be real physicians working with these systems as the care is advanced.
