AI Applications in Healthcare: Strengthening Clinical Judgment and Patient Advocacy
Seminar Details
Artificial intelligence is already embedded across healthcare settings, influencing documentation, communication, triage, and clinical decision support. This session is structured around three essential questions: Where is AI currently being used in healthcare? Where is it demonstrating value, and where does it require careful oversight? How can nurses advocate for clinical judgment and patient outcomes in AI-augmented environments? Using real-world use cases and the National Academy of Medicine’s AI Code of Conduct as a guiding framework, participants will examine how AI intersects with nursing practice and explore the role of nurses in shaping safe, effective, and equitable implementation.
What will be covered?
- Explore how artificial intelligence is currently embedded in patient care, including applications in documentation, communication, triage, and clinical decision support.
- How to apply the National Academy of Medicine’s AI Code of Conduct in real-world healthcare scenarios, including considerations of safety, equity, and workforce impact.
- Strategies nurses can use to advocate for patient outcomes and professional clinical judgment when AI is incorporated into care delivery.
Why should you join? Your students will practice alongside AI that documents care, monitors patients, and delivers education. This session provides concrete examples of what that looks like today and the role nurses play in ensuring patient safety in AI-enabled healthcare environments.
