Summary
Cheristi Cognetta-Rieke, DNP, RN, at the Mayo Clinic, is leading an innovative project to develop an ambient nursing documentation tool that utilizes voice-based AI to streamline the documentation process by capturing nurse-patient conversations. Set to be presented at the 2026 HIMSS Global Health Conference, the initiative emphasizes the critical role of nurses in the creation of healthcare technology to ensure it meets their needs and enhances patient-centered care. By involving nursing professionals early in the design process, the project aims to reduce documentation burdens and promote interoperability, ultimately fostering a more efficient and supportive care environment. This approach represents a significant shift in how technology is integrated into nursing practice, potentially transforming workflows across healthcare settings.
