Doctor's already today spent too little time with their patients to understand diseases holistically enough.
Adding technically between these 2 will make treatments in most of the cases worse, not better.

Going from a recorded transcript to a summary note, extracted structured data, and diagnostic codes is a big time saver.
You seem quite confident about this, but based on the doctors I know writing notes is a real pain and mostly seen as (important) scutwork. They're only given a set amount of time to see a patient (including notes), and if you can reduce notes they'd actually get more time talking and seeing the patient.
You're not thinking like a hospital administrator. Sounds like these doctors can handle 40% more patients to me!
Everyone hates notes. However, there are already a bunch of dictation services that help write notes more efficiently. They absolutely work well enough.
Adoption and funding is the primary blocker. When my wife works at facilities that have M-Modal, she's 80%+ faster. However, she works at many, who despite knowing the benefits, simply don't care to spend the time, money, or resources on implementing scribe/dictation services.
