WALTHAM, Mass.: #ai--With 2026 fast approaching, the healthcare sector is poised for the next stage of gains in AI adoption. Predictions point to increasingly strategic implementation of productivity enablers as well as advancements in clinical decision making technology that connect clinicians with better answers to care for their patients. To highlight what obstacles and opportunities in healthcare technology lie ahead in 2026, leading experts from Wolters Kluwer Health share their outlook on an array of health tech topics in the 2026 predictions report.
Cutting through the AI hype, the new report offers a balanced look at what’s ahead and what it will take to implement a more resilient future in healthcare technology. Read a selection of healthcare AI predictions from the CEO of Wolters Kluwer Health below and see the full report for more than a dozen predictions spanning several key themes:
Greg Samios, CEO of Wolters Kluwer Health, takes a strategic look at two dimensions where healthcare AI will be having substantive influence in 2026:
Where is GenAI growing in the healthcare ecosystem?
“Clinical grade generative AI (GenAI) can be a trusted copilot when embedded in daily workflows, rigorously validated, protected by guardrails, and infused with expert-in-the-loop oversight. Looking ahead to 2026, the ecosystem will continue to witness GenAI’s ability to automate documentation, synthesize clinical notes, surface care gaps, and streamline clinician-patient communications at scale.”
How do you transform GenAI from a tech tool to a partner in healthcare?
“As shadow AI increases in prevalence in 2026, clinicians should turn to purpose-built GenAI systems that are trained on expert-validated evidence, transparent with source citations, and capable of tailored recommendations. GenAI will provide an increase in staff efficiency and care quality, but we must preserve safety and clinician-patient relationships by reframing workflows that elevate GenAI from a tool to a partner, keeping patients at the center of care.”
