Summary
Spencer Dorn advocates for the automation of simpler, repetitive tasks in healthcare, such as managing notifications and processing refill requests, rather than pursuing complex automations like diagnosis. Drawing from his own experience with email management, he emphasizes that while individual tasks may seem inconsequential, automating them can yield significant time savings and enhance overall productivity. Dorn highlights that the cumulative effect of such automation can enable healthcare workers to devote more time to critical responsibilities, ultimately improving the effectiveness of care. He also cautions against the challenges of automating more complex processes, noting the risks of errors and the need for human intervention in handling nuanced cases.
