From the acclaimed author of “The Doctor’s Voice” comes a bold new release aimed at equipping healthcare leaders, policymakers, and clinicians with a practical and forward-thinking guide to navigating the rise of artificial intelligence and robotics in medicine.

In “The Doctor’s Future: A Blueprint for Future-Proofing Your Profession and for Healthcare Decision Makers Leading the Evolution of AI/Robotics-Powered Medicine” (published by Balboa Press), Dr. Pietro Emanuele Garbelli addresses a critical question facing modern healthcare: how can the human touch in medicine be preserved while embracing rapid technological disruption?

Leveraging more than 20 years of clinical and leadership experience across Europe, Garbelli explores how emerging technologies are already transforming the field. Tools like AI-driven diagnostics, predictive analytics, and automated administrative systems are no longer futuristic concepts—they are actively reshaping healthcare delivery. Yet, many professionals remain unprepared, grappling with uncertainty, resistance, and a lack of clear strategy.

Rather than portraying technology as a threat, the book positions it as a powerful partner capable of improving accuracy, efficiency, and patient access—provided it is guided by strong ethical principles and human oversight. Central to the book is the Healthcare Convergence Framework®, a structured approach designed to help organizations and professionals evaluate their readiness for AI adoption while maintaining patient safety, accountability, and a human-centered focus. The framework offers practical steps to align clinicians, policymakers, and technologists in building a system where innovation supports—not replaces—human care.

Garbelli emphasizes empowerment over fear: the emergence of AI and robotics represents not an end, but a transformation that calls for adaptability, leadership, and clarity of purpose. He encourages healthcare professionals to take an active role in shaping the future rather than reacting to it.

Serving as both a strategic guide and a call to action, the book provides a roadmap for those determined to stay relevant and influential in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape—ensuring that the physician of tomorrow remains not only necessary, but strengthened and indispensable.

Five hospitals supported by Transform Shared Service Organization (TSSO) in Ontario, Canada, have upgraded the performance, reliability, and usability of their Oracle Health Foundation electronic health record (EHR) system by moving it to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This cloud migration allows the hospitals to improve experiences for both patients and clinicians, scale their systems more effectively, and introduce new AI-driven capabilities, including a recent pilot program for the Oracle Health Clinical AI Agent.

TSSO was established by five hospitals in the Erie St. Clair region of Southwest Ontario—Bluewater Health, Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, Erie Shores HealthCare, Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare, and Windsor Regional Hospital—to oversee their IT operations.

In addition to supporting these hospitals, TSSO delivers technology solutions to other healthcare providers such as long-term care facilities, hospices, and family health teams. By adopting OCI’s high-performance, scalable cloud platform, TSSO has strengthened data security and improved real-time access to patient information for clinicians through faster and more reliable EHR functionality. OCI also serves as the platform for introducing Oracle Health Clinical AI Agent, with a pilot currently running among selected physicians and a broader rollout planned for 2026.

According to Lyn Baluyot, CEO of TSSO, enhancing infrastructure resilience and flexibility helps improve patient and clinician experiences while ensuring seamless interoperability and operations across facilities. She noted that a modern cloud platform enables TSSO to deliver adaptable, high-quality services, while OCI’s stable and redundant environment provides strong availability, performance, and a foundation for future innovation.

Since transitioning to OCI, all five hospitals have reported significant improvements in EHR speed and responsiveness. Average page load times for clinicians have dropped by 71%, and login-to-usable time has been reduced by 46%. These improvements allow clinicians to complete documentation more efficiently and dedicate more time to patient care. Faster system performance also supports more detailed and timely updates to patient records, improving communication and coordination among care teams.

With Oracle Health Clinical AI Agent embedded in the EHR, clinicians will be able to automatically generate detailed draft clinical notes from patient encounters in near real time. Physicians will only need to review and approve the notes, reducing administrative workload and allowing greater focus on patient interactions.

Erin O’Halloran, vice president and Canada market leader at Oracle Health, stated that TSSO’s move to OCI is a key step toward delivering integrated, patient-centered care. OCI supports a wide range of healthcare workloads, including application systems and advanced data and machine-learning services, helping clinicians make better-informed decisions. By using Oracle’s Canadian cloud region for data storage and processing, TSSO can maintain continuity of critical health services and enhance regional healthcare preparedness.
