Artificial Intelligence Tools in Bedside Nursing: Impact On Clinical Decision-Making and Patient Safety in Modern Healthcare Systems

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in bedside nursing, offering assistance in clinical decision-making, patient monitoring, documentation, and safety management. This paper explores how AI tools influence clinical nurse judgment, reduce human error, enhance patient outcomes, and improve workflow efficiency. It also examines existing applications, ethical and practical challenges, as well as the future scope of AI integration in bedside care. While the adoption of AI in clinical environments presents promising advancements, it requires careful consideration of training, reliability, data privacy, and professional accountability.
