CNIO: AI can personalize scheduling
AONL member Jennifer Carpenter, DNP, RN, says hospitals can artificial intelligence for adaptive and more personalized scheduling to better align trends in case load and census. Carpenter, chief nursing informatics officer at University Hospitals Health System in Cleveland, says nursing leaders can use AI to respond more quickly to emerging needs, such as prompting them to engage in targeted rounding based on clinical activity trends to address patient experience and quality concerns early. Nicole Gitney-Fahey, vice president and chief nursing informatics officer at BayCare Health System in Clearwater, Fla., says AI can create patient-specific summaries and hand-off communication during shift changes, reducing the need for nurses starting their shifts to search through the electronic medical record for information.
