As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, so does its potential to transform how care is delivered across Canada. This webinar will explore Canada Health Infoway’s strategy for responsible AI adoption in the health system, with a focus on the AI Scribe Program, a national initiative to reduce clinical documentation burden and return valuable time to patient care. Learn how Infoway is working alongside clinicians, jurisdictions, industry partners, and others to ensure that AI tools are integrated safely, ethically, and effectively. Attendees will gain insight into the early results of the program, the importance of clinician trust in AI adoption, and what’s next on the path to modernizing documentation workflows in Canadian healthcare.
