“Physicians aren’t resisting AI. They’re resisting workflow disruption.
Every week, a new report asks why clinical AI adoption is so slow. The usual answer is physician resistance, fear, or lack of AI literacy.
That’s not what I see in the clinic. I see physicians quietly using AI tools all day. Ambient scribes, literature search, patient summaries, draft notes. What they won’t tolerate is a tool that adds three clicks to every patient.
The best healthcare AI disappears into the existing workflow. It doesn’t ask for a seat at the table. It removes friction the clinician didn’t even know they had budget to fix. 47% of health systems are assessing agentic AI. 3% have it in live workflows. That gap is not a culture problem. It’s a design problem.
Founders: stop benchmarking against physician accuracy. Start benchmarking against the current workflow.
What’s the most friction-free AI tool you’ve actually adopted in your practice or organization?”
