To my understanding, notes would otherwise largely be written from memory after the visit - which adds a fairly significant opportunity for omissions and errors to sneak in.
It seems plausible to me that by fixing that low-hanging fruit, this tool could potentially reach current human levels of accuracy overall even if it has shortcomings in other areas, like not being as good at non-shallow reasoning. Not to necessarily say it's currently at human-level.

Five minutes saved per encounter, allegedly[0]. The decrease in clinician burnout and patient satisfaction also seem pretty significant. But, not sure how much Microsoft have massaged those figures.
