NURS 8210 Week 7 Blog: Innovative Informatics Tools and Applications to Clinical Practice
New technology and tools will undoubtedly shape nursing practice. “Research suggests that between 8% and 16% of nursing time is spent on non-nursing activities and tasks that should be delegated to others” (Robert, 2019). As a result, new innovations may minimize the time spent on these non-nursing activities and tasks to further support and strengthen patient care.
One such technology is the use of robots. While nursing robots are not yet readily available, researchers have earned millions in grants over the last decade researching and developing AI and robotic innovations to improve healthcare and nursing practice. From clinical practice to patient support, the future seems endless with possibilities.
For this Discussion, you will explore various topics associated with innovative technology and your healthcare organization or nursing practice. You will consider how you might utilize these advancements, as well as consider how these advancements might influence nursing informatics.

Main post
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral component of modern healthcare, profoundly influencing the nursing practice and the overall patient care landscape. I have observed firsthand how AI applications have transformed patient care delivery, improved clinical outcomes, and optimized workflow efficiency. AI’s ability to analyze large datasets, predict patient outcomes, and support clinical decision-making is revolutionizing nursing practice. In my clinical practice, AI-driven tools have been particularly instrumental in enhancing patient monitoring and management. For instance, AI algorithms integrated into electronic health records (EHRs) can identify patterns and predict patient deterioration, enabling timely interventions. A study by Topol (2020) highlighted how AI models effectively predict sepsis onset by analyzing patient data in real time, thus allowing for early and more effective treatment. This application has not only improved patient outcomes but also reduced the burden on nursing staff by minimizing the need for constant manual monitoring….
