Abstract/Description: In the face of rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), healthcare is undergoing significant changes. The integration of A.I. offers the potential for improved efficiency, accuracy, and enhanced patient outcomes. However, this integration also introduces complex challenges and important ethical considerations. Informatics Nurses, at the intersection of healthcare and technology, are well-positioned to navigate these changes. This panel aims to provide a clear overview of A.I. in healthcare, discussing its evolution, potential benefits, challenges, and future directions. Through evidence-based discussions, we seek to equip Informatics Nurses with the knowledge needed to effectively integrate A.I. in their practice and contribute to its responsible advancement.
Objectives:
1. Historical Perspective and Evolution: - Explore the history and progression of A.I. in healthcare. Understand its early developments, key milestones, and the driving forces behind its growing role in various healthcare settings.
2. Current Applications and Potential: - Review the present applications of A.I., encompassing diagnostics, patient care, and administrative functions. - Discuss the potential of A.I. to reshape healthcare delivery, improve patient outcomes, and enhance operational efficiency.
3. Ethical and Practical Challenges: - Delve into the challenges and ethical issues presented by the integration of A.I. in healthcare, with a focus on data privacy and potential biases. - Discuss strategies for the responsible and ethical use of A.I. in healthcare settings.
4. Integration and Collaboration: - Highlight the importance of collaborative efforts in the successful integration of A.I. in healthcare. - Examine the role of Informatics Nurses in fostering collaboration among healthcare professionals, IT specialists, and A.I. developers, ensuring the development of patient-centric solutions.
