The question regarding AI and all other advances across all micromanagements, digitalizations, and regulations - is whether the inside out perspective is considered. Did the designers or promoters or pundits or experts consider what this would do to practice enivironments and the delivery team members (Miller, Crabtree, others in Annals FM). Advances are negated where most Americans are most behind have only half enough of each of primary care and mental health and women's health and basic surgical workforce where deficits of public health and social supports also exist. How can primary care do more when it is already stressed to the max covering all of these areas? How do you integrate or coordinate with insufficiency across workforce, team members, and supports? How can you maximize interactions when the designs fall to provide the one on one team members to interact and the most experienced delivery team members in optimal continuity with the same patients, same team members, same practice, and same community? This should be the top number one priority that fails to be considered. You cannot cost cut and add more to do with less - and advance. Obsessive measurement disorder must be reigned in to advance.

All along from software to digitalization to measurements, there is utter failure to consider those who deliver the care. If at some point from HITECH to the present, some earnest effort had been made to tailor "advances" to the needs of delivery team members, I would have great hope in Artificial Intelligence. The past decades have taught me to be cautious. My reseach training, background, and experience has taught me to question every so called advance, and for good reasons.
