Abstract (summary)
Developments in artificial intelligence are rapidly expanding and the use of artificial intelligence health technologies (AIHT) in nursing practice is also expanding. We often talk in nursing about preparing for the use of AIHT in the future, and while we need to prepare for how these technologies will affect us in the future, AIHT are affecting nursing practice now. Nurses have already been using artificial intelligence tools like the Rothman Index scores to determine patient acuity, and AI algorithms to help predict disease and prevent adverse events (Robert, 2019). For many of these algorithms the data used by the computer to determine risk is collected and entered by nurses, therefore nurses need to be aware of the relationship between the data they collect and enter into the EHR, and the AI technologies being used to support patient care (Ronquillo et al., 2021).
