Episode #75: What Actually Makes a Hospital Smart
Apple Podcasts
SpotifyEpisode Description
A smart hospital is not measured by how much technology it buys!
In this episode of the Smart Care Team Spotlight, Dr. Stephanie Hoelscher, Professor and Director of Informatics in Intelligent Systems at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, makes the case that AI literacy now sits at the foundation of nursing practice. She identifies data quality, input, and output as the pitfalls nurses and leaders most often underestimate, and explains how a polished dashboard displaying a risk score can give a clinician a false sense of accuracy. She walks through what happened when her School of Nursing wrote its own AI policy and found the institution drafting one in tandem. And she pushes back hard on the habit of buying the technology first and bringing nurses in afterward to make it work.
Tune in to hear why upskilling now travels with two companions worth naming: deskilling and never-skilling!
