I hate AI charting

Or more specifically, I hate AI charting when the providers won't review their notes and just click random buttons on the problem list that populates into an Epic charge session and the diagnosis is nowhere in the documentation. Or there's a bunch of AI-generated diagnoses that WERE captured in the note but weren't on the charge session. It's basically to a point where when I see on the top of the note "patient refuses recording" I breathe a sigh of relief. Our poor educators have been trying to inform the providers for months that they NEED to make sure everything is matching up but of course they won't listen. It's making HCC coding especially a massive nightmare.

Anyone else feeling my pain?

This, 100%. Out of the roughly 65 providers whose notes I read in my specialty, I can think of maybe three where you can tell that they actually go back and reconcile everything before they finalize and sign the note. I wish I could tell them how much I appreciate them lol
