Where AI can make the biggest impact for nurses 
Becker's Health IT; by Ella Jeffries; 9/2/25 
Artificial intelligence in nursing is often framed as a way to cut paperwork. But nurse informatics leaders told Becker’s its potential goes beyond that, reshaping nurses’ role, strengthening patient safety and providing real-time insights that improve care. Many did say the most immediate opportunity lies in easing the documentation burden. Jason Atkins, RN, chief clinical informatics officer at Emory Healthcare in Atlanta, pointed to ambient listening, chart summarization and care plan automation as tools that can free nurses from clicks in the EHR. These tools allow nurses to spend more time “caring out loud” with patients instead of navigating screens, he said.
