We're capping off Season 2 with a must-listen discussion on patient trust, AI and consent. In this episode, we're joined by Chad Brouillard, medical malpractice defense trial attorney at Foster & Eldridge, LLP to explore the risks, benefits, and legal realities of AI in healthcare.

As artificial intelligence becomes deeply embedded in clinical care, the process around informed consent is evolving in real time. We examine what this means for patients, healthcare leaders, clinicians, and risk managers.

We discuss:

• How AI is transforming informed consent from a one-time form into an ongoing, patient-centered conversation
• When the use of AI in clinical settings may require disclosure or separate consent
• The legal, ethical, and malpractice risks associated with AI-driven decision making
• The spectrum of AI use in healthcare, from embedded tools to high-stakes clinical applications

This conversation is essential viewing for healthcare executives, physicians, compliance leaders, and anyone responsible for navigating AI adoption in clinical environments.

Topics covered: Healthcare AI, informed consent, medical malpractice, risk management, patient-centered care, shared decision-making, clinical AI, healthcare law
