How AI Could Tame the Charting Madness for Nurses
Used correctly, AI transcription could be a boon for every clinician. AI-enabled scribes, capable of voice input and summarization, are already in use in practice—including in several EHRs or EHR plug-ins. The used correctly part really matters. Voice input via Large Language Models is near 100% recognition, better than humans, and can clean up scattered notes and sentences. It can't chart. It has problems dealing with multiple voices at once (i.e., your normal hospital). Working with a human, AI can help construct a clean, concise chart on the fly, leaving the clinician free to pay attention to the patient.
AIs with voice input can also help with patient complaint transcription and timelines. These are not in practice, and a lot of issues remain before they will be. LLMs can also translate, again with extremely high accuracy, in many languages.

New Publication Highlights the Economic Value of Nursing
The American Nurses Association (ANA) sponsored a study on the overall economic value of nursing. We’re not sure if the title, The Nursing Human Capital Value Model, is ideal, but it is an economic study demonstrating the return on investing in nursing workforces and training.
In particular, it addresses the do more with less mindset that views nursing (and other human investments) in healthcare systems as an expense, rather than a growing asset for an organization. By treating humans as an expense, rather than the principal value of the organization, we create understaffing, unsafe work environments, burnout, and low-quality care—factors that ultimately lead to even higher costs.
