Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Nursing Processes: Approaches to Enhancing Patient Care Efficiency
Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, Nursing process, Patient Care EfficiencyAbstract
Abstract
In the 21st century, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has played a pivotal role in healthcare and nursing services, as it enables rapid processing and analysis of large volumes of data. AI has become a valuable tool for enhancing the quality of patient care and improving the efficiency of nursing personnel. However, the integration of AI into nursing processes requires clear guidelines that are consistent with ethical principles, with particular emphasis on patient safety, data privacy, and equitable access to services. These considerations are essential to building trust among both patients and healthcare providers. The purpose of this article is to propose approaches for integrating AI into the five steps of the nursing process, as well as to analyze the supporting factors and barriers to the implementation of AI in nursing practice.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Nursing process, Patient Care Efficiency
