Nursing and IT

Nurses with less than two years of experience increase their confidence in performing during electronic health record outages after escape room-style training, Michael Allen of Indiana University Health said at HIMSS25.

At HIMSS25 in Las Vegas next month, members of the HIMSS Nursing Innovation Advisory will explore where artificial intelligence is finding favor with RNs, where they're skeptical of it – and how it can be deployed and integrated safely into practice.

Stephen Ferrara, DNP, president of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and associate dean for AI at Columbia University School of Nursing, talks the role of artificial intelligence for NPs and discusses an AI/wearables use case.

The health system has reduced RN turnover by seven percentage points; the RN retention rate is back to pre-pandemic 95%. This saves RN replacement costs in a highly competitive market. Further, the platform helps leaders follow best practices.
