The shift to EMRs (more-or-less forced by the ACA) has been a huge quality-of-life loss for doctors. Tons of time spent on Epic or Cerner checking boxes and selecting drop-downs.

Turned a "trusted professional" advisory role into a keyboard role.

There are medical scribes who will do all that for the physician and for dog-shit wages. Usually these are medical school-wannabes so they can easily be tricked into working for minimum wage, and once they're suitably trained the physician just has to briefly scan the EMR for completeness and sign off on it.

I have not seen this happen extensively, in practice.
