Physicians’ Burden: Is AI the Only Path Forward?

June 27, 2024 | Webinar

This webinar will be a lively debate between two camps: One camp that believes in technology and AI as the main solution for physicians’ burden and burnout, and another camp that has its skepticism about AI’s ability to deliver those promises without compromising ethics, security, and equity. 

We will delve into the critical issue of physician burnout, offering a comprehensive exploration of how cutting-edge technology, strategic policy-making, and effective burnout-relief strategies can collectively enhance the working lives of healthcare professionals. Solutions like Ambient AI might be the way to go, or more traditional low-tech high-impact strategies are still appropriate.

As burnout continues to impact healthcare providers at an alarming rate, this webinar seeks to provide attendees with actionable insights and innovative solutions to mitigate these challenges and improve overall job satisfaction and patient care.
