Where this job sits on the map

In the same group: 78 of 100 professions.

What changes

  1. Notes can be dictated and reviewed instead of typed into the electronic health record (EHR) by hand

  2. Patient instructions get written in plain language in minutes

  3. There's a new duty: checking the notes that AI wrote

AI drafts, the person decides

How the work splits here: AI prepares a draft, the person checks it and makes the call.

AI makes the draft

What AI does

  • A draft nursing note from dictation, in a tool your employer has approved for patient data
  • Home-care instructions in plain language, based on the provider's orders
  • A medication schedule table, based on the provider's orders
  • Translating instructions into the patient's language, with a person checking the tricky parts
You check itRead it, check the facts, fix it. Without this check the draft goes nowhere.
You decide and stay responsible

What stays with the person

  • Care, procedures and monitoring the patient's condition
  • Noticing that a patient is getting worse before the monitors do
  • Checking every note before it goes into the chart
  • Supporting patients and their families
