New technologies are on our side: Designing AI-Based Protocols for Emergency Departments

Abstract

As a nurse in a bustling emergency department (ED), I’ve seen firsthand the chaos and intensity that define our daily work. The constant influx of patients, each with unique needs, creates a high-pressure environment where every second counts. Over the past year, our hospital began integrating artificial intelligence (AI)-based protocols into our workflow, and I’ve witnessed how this technology is reshaping the way we deliver care. It’s been a transformative experience, one that’s brought both promise and challenges, but ultimately, it’s made me hopeful for the future of emergency care.
