  • GenAI is seen as a solution for workforce sustainability, reducing burnout, and administrative burdens, but organizational readiness lags behind ambitions.
  • Only a small percentage of healthcare organizations have formal GenAI policies or required training, leading to concerns about misuse and integration.
  • Pharmacists and nurses are optimistic about GenAI’s potential to reduce burnout and streamline tasks, but fear loss of clinical acumen if misused.
  • Strategic governance, clear policies, and comprehensive training are crucial for sustainable GenAI deployment, focusing on augmenting rather than replacing human roles.
