Introduction

Nowadays, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is using in almost in all areas of medical and health field for education purpose and as well as in the treatment areas also. [1] First of all, the AI is very much useful in clinical decision support and it can provide to nurses with valuable insights and to take the correct decision and to help to the nurses to make informed decisions about giving the appropriate patient care to the respective patients. [2]  Furthermore, AI is very much useful in in the patients’ monitoring and to give support to them at the correct time.  AI is monitoring the treatment protocol and care to the patients and its coordination and to reduce the workload of the nurses and health care professional.  Moreover, AI has working on an important role in knowing some new skills and knowledge about their nursing curriculum to the respective department nurses. [3] This types of activity has to improve the empower of nurses in the technological advancements, new innovation and to work and to give high quality health care to their patients in the digital world. [4] In this article, I have discussed about how AI technology is using in nursing practice?

Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Health Care Practice [2, 5]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is using an important and essential part in nursing practice.  AI has analysed the particular patient data and it would give evidence based treatments, procedure and what types of services are need to that particular patients and to assist to the nurses in a prompt way. AI has monitoring a patient in good manner, continuously monitoring the patient’s vital signs and symptoms, identify the patterns, and to notify to the concern nurses in a continuous way and the potential changes in the critically ill patients.  AI is monitoring and inform to the nursing in a stream line.  By this AI has to reduce the paperwork of the nurses, enhancing high care delivery and collaborate with various healthcare providers.  Definitely, AI could improve the practice and enhance the patients’ health care and its outcomes among the nurses. AI is giving a patient surveillance for monitoring, administrative tasks and to give patient care to the patients in a long/more time.  Automatically, the patients’ health will improve gradually. AI technology will also give health care coordination, correct communication to the concern team members/health care professionals in the medical field/sector.

Artificial Intelligence in Clinical Decision in Nursing Practice [2, 6]

The application of AI in health care is to take clinical decision making in a significant profit way. Moreover, AI powered systems may analyse the various medical records, laboratory based results and imaging tests of patients. AI can help to the nurses at more accurate diagnosis and care plans.  AI helps to nurses to improve the nurses’ clinical conclusions about their patients.  These things are to determine the patients’ risks, future patients’ outcomes, and the formulation of the patients’ treatment strategies.  AI can also enhance the patients’ follow-up based on the patients’ status, and their early discharge from the hospital. Nowadays, AI has to help to the nurses with quality of data used for good health care training, make it as with more accuracy and reliable.  AI can also give the patients’ data privacy, security and patients particulars. Transparency in AI decision making continued monitoring of patients, and the promotion of AI technologies are all moral issues only.

The application of AI in the nursing health care in clinical area gives so much of important and favourable solutions. ie., nurses are equipped with patients’ information and evidence based results and suggestions, that will precise the processes of treatment of the patients and therapeutic strategies.  It will monitor the patients in the surveillance mode and it will give rapid interventions, and it is resulting in the improvement of patients’ outcomes, treatment, and the treatment outcomes.

Conclusion

From this article, I concluded that the AI technology utilization is very much useful and essential in the nursing health care in clinical area and as well as medical field. AI can reduce the nurses’ administration work, monitoring work, patients’ follow-up, patients’ outcomes, treatment, and therapeutic strategies. If nurses using AI will gain the nurses’ knowledge in clinical area, well-being of the patients, and improve the efficiency of the nurses. Furthermore, studies to be conducted to know about how AI technologies applications in nursing health care in the clinical area.
