The union rep gets it - people improvise when you cut their tools and then threaten discipline for improvising.
That memo is how you make staff hide things instead of asking for help.
The scarier part though is that LLM-written clinical notes probably look fine. That's the whole problem. I built a system where one AI was scoring another AI's work, and it kept giving high marks because the output read well. I had to make the scorer blind to the original coaching text before it started catching real issues. Now imagine that "reads well, isn't right" failure mode in clinical documentation.
Nobody's re-reading the phrasing until a patient outcome goes wrong.
