In my opinion, this is less about the field (health care, real estate, etc.) and more about automating someone's core role. Many people have learned to do a particular job a particular way: some things they have picked up through trial and error, others were handed down from a more senior co-worker. There are other steps that are taken because something else (regulatory requirements, etc.) require it or don't and have been misunderstood.
When we try to automate part of a person's work, we have to encourage the person to take a look at themselves and the way they do their work. This is not easy for people! A lot of times we're asking someone to admit that they don't actually know why something is done a particular way. Or we point out that they are doing the work of another person in another department. And, all the time, this person is worried that at the end they will be replaced by software and lose their job.
I think it's really hard to get to a place where everyone is comfortable enough to be frank about what they do, what the software might be able to do, and what makes sense.
