"WISeR has resulted in delays and denials of care, operational chaos, and reports of patient harm" It sounds pretty par for the course for non-AI as well. What criteria is the EFF using for its evaluation or the program, Medicare's own internal metrics? I'm actually amazed this stuff even works enough to do a bad job. Getting data into an LLM out of the Medicare system is something I assume would have taken at least a quarter or two.
