The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Nursing is no longer a mere possibility and already manifests itself in the routine of various health services. Its scope encompasses from automated analysis of medical records to algorithms capable of foreseeing complications at a large scale.
Each of the Nursing Process phases (Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation and Evaluation) finds in AI a number of resources to expand patient safety and improve efficiency in the teams. However, the objective is not to substitute nurses' expertise but, on the contrary, to optimize repetitive tasks through AI, freeing time for advanced clinical reasoning, people-centered care and rational resource management.
As for the Assessment phase, studies such as the one by Rossetti et al.(1) show that a real-time analysis of Nursing records through “deep learning” issues precise alerts about imminent clinical deterioration.
This anticipation of risks enables earlier interventions and avoiding problems, thus improving care safety in a tangible way. In the Diagnosis phase, Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms can identify patterns linked to falls, infections and other threats(2). [...]
