To get stronger AI buy-in from wary nurses, start with automation

AI can relieve administrative burdens for nurses, freeing them for direct patient care. However, concerns around ethics and transparency hamper the technology’s uptake. More time should be spent ensuring AI’s processes and outcomes are understood and ethical issues addressed. AI can provide real benefits to healthcare practitioners, such as automating administrative tasks, aiding in clinical decision support, and physically assisting in tasks, which can both improve patient care and enhance staff workflow.
