Exploring Artificial Intelligence for Nurse Leaders: Leadership Symposium
About the Program
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming almost all aspects of our society, including the health care industry. Leading health care organizations are defining the cutting edge in applying innovative technologies such as AI to improve operational processes, patient care and the employee experience. Future success in health care very much depends on nursing leaders understanding how to harness the enormous potential that AI offers, yet many leaders express fear, skepticism and uncertainty on exactly how to proceed.
This Leadership Symposium for Nursing Leaders is structured as three facilitated virtual panel discussions addressing various aspects of AI as it applies to nursing innovation and technology. Health care leaders and experts in the policy implications of technology will explore crucial considerations of employing AI in nursing operations and clinical practice. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions of the panel members.
