Abstract:

Studies show that there has been an increasing incorporation of AI in different sectors with increasing technological advancement, a trend that can also be observed in the healthcare sector.  Considering the growing significance of AI in the medical field in this study, the researcher has aimed to enumerate the different scopes of its implementation in nursing and its impact on patient outcomes. An understanding of these potential areas of AI implementation in nursing and its effect on patient outcomes would be beneficial for the implementation of future advancements related to AI in nursing. In this systematic literature review, the researcher has focused on analyzing the potential areas of implementing AI in the functioning of nurses and the ways it would impact patient outcomes. The review has considered analysing the areas of application and the role of AI in the functioning of nurses, the potential impact of implementation in the functioning of nurses, and how it impacts patient outcomes.  With regards to the areas of application, the findings of the reviewed studies have revealed that AI has considerable scope for implementation in areas of clinical decision-making the performing of administrative work, and the identification of patterns and features in healthcare data. It has been reported to positively impact their clinical decision-making processes, minimizing the risk of medical errors along with improving accuracy, which inevitably positively impacts the quality-of-care services being received by the patients and the patient outcomes.
