1 day ago 6

ST. LOUIS – Behind every breakthrough in health care AI is a visionary pushing the boundaries – like Mercy’s own Kerry Bommarito. The vice president of enterprise AI and decision intelligence has been named to Becker’s Hospital Review's 2025 list of 100 Women in Health IT to Know.

Kerry is helping shape the future of health care through innovative, responsible use of artificial intelligence. She’s been a driving force behind many of Mercy’s real-time machine learning models – more than a dozen of them – many of which are built right into Mercy’s electronic health record to support clinicians in making faster, more informed decisions at the point of care.

She also led the development of Mercy’s first generative AI solution at scale, designed specifically for nurses during emergency department-to-inpatient transitions.  With over 130,000 summaries generated to date, the tool has meaningfully reduced documentation burden while improving communication and safety during critical moments of care.

Mercy has been helping shape national standards for ethical and effective AI in health care through its involvement with the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI), continuing to lead the way in building trustworthy technology that truly supports patients and caregivers. Kerry is actively engaged with CHAI, contributing to the development of responsible AI guidelines that promote safety, equity and trustworthiness in health care technology.
