The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in acute care is no longer a futuristic concept; it is a rapidly evolving reality with the power to transform patient outcomes and clinical workflows. This presentation will explore the current and emerging applications of AI in acute care settings, from predictive analytics for early warning of patient deterioration to administrative automation that combats nurse burnout. It will delve into how AI tools are being used to enhance clinical decision-making, optimize resource allocation, and improve diagnostic accuracy. Beyond the technological advancements, the session will also address critical considerations for responsible AI implementation, including ethical safeguards, data privacy, and the importance of maintaining a “human-in-the-loop” approach. By embracing these innovations, nurse practitioners are poised to lead the charge in shaping a more efficient, equitable, and patient-centered future.

Advanced Pharmacology is an ever-changing field. Standard safety precautions must be followed, but as new research and clinical experience broaden our knowledge, changes in treatment and drug therapy may become necessary or appropriate. Readers are advised to check the most current product information provided by the manufacturer of each drug to be administered to verify the recommended dose, the method and duration of administration and contraindications. It is the responsibility of the licensed prescriber, relying on expertise and knowledge of the patient, to determine dosages and the best treatment for each individual patient.
