Wolters Kluwer Chief Medical Officer Explores GenAI & Burnout at HIMSS AI in Healthcare Forum

CMO Dr. Peter Bonis will examine the issue of trust in workforce AI adoption

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dr. Peter Bonis, Chief Medical Officer for Wolters Kluwer Health, will speak on artificial intelligence (AI) at the HIMSS AI in Healthcare Forum. The panel, titled “How Do We Support our Workforce to Trust and Adopt AI?” will be held on Thursday, September 5 from 1:15-2:05 PM in Boston.

“Successful adoption of AI in the healthcare setting requires demonstration of value, safety, and effectiveness,” said Dr. Bonis. “Trust must be earned. For example, an April 2024 Wolters Kluwer survey found nine out of 10 physicians have concerns about the source of GenAI content used for clinical decision support and they want transparency. I look forward to discussing the progress and barriers on adoption of AI technologies in the clinical setting.”

Joining Dr. Bonis on the panel are Dr. Patrick Thomas, Director of Digital Innovation, Pediatric Surgery, The University of Nebraska Medical Center-College of Medicine; Dr. Sonya Makhni, Medical Director, Mayo Clinic Platform; and Dr. Antoine Keller, Cardiothoracic Surgeon at Ochsner Lafayette General Hospital.

The panel will address the importance of ensuring a healthcare organization’s workforce is prepared and willing to effectively leverage AI in their clinical workflows. During the panel, AI clinician-experts will dive into the skills needed to build readiness for successful workforce adoption and trust in AI.
