> Anecdotally anyone can talk to a few doctors and find out just how much time they spend on updating charts/documenting information that's not directly relevant to the care, its just to protect against liability or work with insurance.

It’s not just for that. Documentation and checklists exist in public health systems, too, and IIRC there’s some fairly hard evidence that they do reduce errors. Doctors hate them, tho.

I was in hospital a few years back for a fairly inoffensive surgical procedure (public hospital, though in Ireland’s rather weird hybrid system, because I had private insurance my insurance was paying), and I’d say I was asked at least ten times if I was allergic to anything, and had the barcode on my wristband read more times than I can count. This was extremely irritating… but apparently it does _work_; some patients don’t always give the same answer to that question every time.
