Bridging The Nursing Gap: AI’s Potential In Healthcare

The nursing crisis plaguing the medical field isn’t a new challenge, but it’s reaching a breaking point. Increasing demand, an aging workforce and educational bottlenecks have created a perfect storm of high stress and low morale among nurses. As a result, nursing positions across the country remain unfilled, forcing medical institutions to operate at diminished capacity.Artificial intelligence (AI) is stepping up to alleviate some of the burden on healthcare systems. My journey in healthcare technology spans over two decades, during which I've collaborated with leading institutions like Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland Health System. Through these partnerships, I've gained insights into the diverse needs of healthcare institutions, from IT to marketing. But before we get into how healthcare leaders can and are utilizing AI in this field, let’s start by exploring how we got where we are today.
