Infusing Artificial Intelligence in Undergraduate and Graduate Nursing Programs
Webinar Details
The AACN Essentials suggest that nursing students across programs are to demonstrate competency with informatics. The current state of informatics suggests that one element is artificial intelligence (AI). Artificial intelligence has been infused into our daily lives. We and our patients wear or carry smartwatches and phones that calculate steps, monitoring for falls, heart rate, and oxygenation. Many of us and our patients have smart homes. These technologies are the result of taking very large data sets and creating models that can predict and alert us to events in our environment.
To begin the discussion, it is important to understand what AI is and what it isn’t. AI is computers simulating human thinking. AI is not human. Referring to the daily examples of AI in our daily lives, AI has also been infused into healthcare. In its most rudimentary form, clinical decision support was a pioneering example of AI. We now have access to generative text AI in the electronic health record to write notes and sophisticated models to guide decision-making. AI is not going away. So, we have a responsibility in nursing education to teach responsible use of this technology across programs.
Outcomes:
- Define AI.
- List examples of AI in daily life and healthcare.
- Describe how generative text AI works.
- Discuss ideas to infuse AI into nursing curriculum across programs.
