It's exactly what they meant. Replacing people coding things into electronic medical records, automating transcription, and reducing administrative burden is exactly what AI should do. This frees up time for caregivers to actually care and see more patients rather than sitting in front a computer all day.
It doesn't do any of those things comparably to a trained human being.
It is also a massive liability for privacy and HIPPA laws, among other more immediate harm it can cause by misdiagnosis or misinformation.
