2026 WEBINAR | AI for Better Health: The Future of Nursing with an AI Clinical Assistant at Advocate Health


Documentation burden and workforce strain are reshaping what nurse leaders need from technology. What if AI is co-designed with frontline nurses — to lift the administrative load, give time back to patient care and restore value to the work nurses are uniquely prepared to do?
Advocate Health — the third-largest nonprofit integrated health system in the U.S., serving nearly 6 million patients with 42,000 nurses — is charting that path. Katie Barr, SVP and Chief Nursing Informatics Officer, and Tracy Breece, VP of Nursing Innovation, AI & Emerging Technologies, will share Advocate’s vision for the next era of nursing and what they’re learning as they bring a nurse-led, human-centered approach to intelligent care delivery to life through Microsoft Dragon Copilot, an AI clinical assistant with capabilities purpose-built for nursing.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- Giving frontline nurses access to AI tools to remove documentation burden
- Early lessons from the field and the importance of change management
- Where nursing is headed as ambient AI and virtual care evolve
Join Katie Barr, Tracy Breece, and Microsoft’s Allison Stalla, Nursing Growth Lead, for a candid look at how nurses and AI will help define the future of care.
