The White House has issued Executive Order 14179, aimed at boosting the federal government's adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance American leadership in the field. The directive mandates federal agencies to appoint a chief AI officer within 60 days to oversee implementation and ensure compliance with risk management protocols. The accompanying memorandum outlines a strategic framework for integrating AI into public services, with particular emphasis on its potential impact in healthcare, where "high-impact" applications will be closely monitored. Furthermore, the directive encourages a "buy American" policy to support domestic AI initiatives.

Nurses at the University of California Health are looking to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into their workflows to enhance patient care and reduce administrative burdens. Emergency room nurse Maranda Bradshaw highlights how AI can alleviate cognitive fatigue by breaking down complex procedures into simpler steps, allowing nurses to concentrate on patient care. With nurses currently spending around 132 minutes on documentation during their shifts, AI tools are expected to streamline this process by anticipating documentation needs, thus providing more time for patient interaction. Additionally, nurses are actively involved in evaluating AI technologies to ensure they are practical and enhance clinical judgment and decision-making.
