AI literacy & clinical expertise: Keeping human judgment sharp as AI scales


Wednesday, August 12th, 2026 | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM CT 

AI is becoming embedded in healthcare, helping clinicians retrieve information faster and ease administrative burden. Recent Wolters Kluwer research found 74% of physicians and 70% of nurses now use generative AI weekly, yet 92% say human expert validation remains essential.

That gap — between confident adoption and demand for human judgment — is where leadership's work sits: keeping clinical expertise sharp rather than letting it recede as AI scales.

The shift reaches beyond the clinician's workflow. Patients increasingly arrive informed by their own AI tools, so both sides of the exam room engage with AI, rarely with the same context.

But done well, AI doesn't dilute clinical expertise; it deepens it.

Join a candid discussion among healthcare executives on building AI-ready organizations that support clinicians, strengthen patient care and sharpen everyday decisions.

Insights include:
 
  • How AI is reshaping clinical reasoning and patient expectations — and the skills clinicians need next
  • Why AI literacy matters for clinicians and patients alike
  • Strategies to strengthen, not just preserve, clinical expertise as AI scales
  • Practical ways to connect evidence, workflows and patient-facing information
