Ambient AI for Nurses: From Early Adopters to Standard Practice

Sep 15, 2026
32:51

Episode Description

Ambient AI earned its early reputation in the exam room, easing physician documentation. The bigger opportunity, and the harder build, is nursing. Geri Hansen, Vice President of IS Applications at Baptist Health and an informatics nurse by training, joins Megan Antonelli to talk about what it really takes to move ambient AI for nurses from early-adopter experiment to standard practice. They get into where it delivers value today, where it still falls short, how to prove ROI inside structured nursing workflows, and what separates a pilot that scales from one that stalls. A candid, operator-level conversation for the CIO, CMIO, and CNIO planning their next move.
