Reimagine Healthcare with Dr. Samuel Gareau-Lajoie
Note: This podcast episode was recorded in French.
What if technology could finally ease doctors’ daily workload, rather than make it heavier?
In this episode, Dr. Samuel Gareau-Lajoie shares a clear-eyed observation: despite digitalization, the administrative burden continues to weigh heavily on clinicians—so much so that it directly contributes to their burnout.
“We took heavy, cumbersome processes… and put them onto a computer”

Key Takeaways
- Administrative burden is one of the main drivers of physician burnout.
- Artificial intelligence represents a major opportunity to automate non-clinical tasks (documentation, forms, repetitive work).
- The safety of AI tools in healthcare is a critical issue, requiring stronger oversight and clinical evaluation.
- Clinicians must be involved in the development and selection of technologies to avoid poorly adapted tools.
- AI opens the door to more personalized medicine, particularly in treatment selection.
- It is essential to maintain a critical and human perspective on AI-generated recommendations.
- Despite technological advances, empathy, human connection, and clinical judgment remain irreplaceable.
On The Reimagine Healthcare Podcast, we explore how healthcare leaders across Canada are building smarter, more human systems of care, through innovation, technology, and better workflows.
A real opportunity: remove, don’t add
A new opportunity is emerging.
For Dr. Garau-Lajoie, artificial intelligence is a concrete lever to eliminate tasks with no clinical value—documentation, forms, repetitive work—and give physicians back time for what truly matters: their patients.
That said, it must be integrated properly.
Not as an additional layer, but as a solution designed around real-world practice, actual workflows, and the needs of clinicians.
