Summary
Advocate Health in Charlotte, North Carolina, has secured a $100,000 grant from the American Nurses Credentialing Center to launch a virtual reality program aimed at training nurses to utilize ambient AI for electronic health record (EHR) documentation. This initiative comes in response to the challenge nurses face in verbalizing their assessments, which have traditionally been documented manually. By employing Microsoft's Project Nursing tool, which integrates ambient listening to automate EHR updates, the program seeks to enhance operational efficiency and reduce documentation time. This advancement could significantly streamline workflows in nursing, allowing professionals to focus more on patient care rather than administrative tasks.
