Doctor time is most of expensive. It makes the most sense to automate away their mundane or lower value work first, vs NPs, RNs, or CNAs (who all do more hands on work compared to an MD, but also have lower costs per unit of time). It is silly to continue to have humans do low value work if it can be automated. Save that time for higher value work.
This is not about replacing people wholesale, but giving them better tools.
