Clinical documentation has evolved from a tool that supports clinical reasoning, teaching, and communication into a burdensome document shaped by regulatory, financial, and administrative requirements. The rise of EHRs and now ambient AI scribes may improve efficiency, but they also raise concerns about cognitive off-loading and the potential erosion of clinical reasoning and documentation skills. The authors propose re-centering the chart note around four core functions: supporting clinician thinking, communicating with others, meeting legal and billing requirements, and educating patients, while ensuring clinicians learn these skills before relying heavily on AI.
