Innovations in Nursing Workforce Management

Ann Scott Blouin

Abstract: Addressing the current and future nursing workforce shortage is the most pressing topic on healthcare leaders' agenda. The pandemic worsened a looming problem, driven both by supply and demand. Classic strategies deployed in past shortages are useful but are not sufficient to guide scarce resource management in the future. Emerging innovative technology solutions, carefully selected and evaluated, can supplement and enhance past strategies.

OBJECTIVE The virtual nurse (VN) pilot was developed to assist bedside nurses in administrative tasks, including discharges and education, from a remote location. BACKGROUND Bedside nurse vacancies have increased, leading to a shortage of resources for the care team and less time for nurses to provide hands-on care to patients. METHODS A survey showed 77% of nurses spend more than 3 hours per shift on admissions, discharges, and patient education. A pilot was conducted on a 45-bed unit with the VN focusing on discharges and patient education. RESULTS During the pilot, the VN completed 1375 tasks, increasing patient and nurse satisfaction while reducing turnover and adverse events. CONCLUSION With the program's early success, the VN role is expanding into additional units.

Aim: To describe the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by nurse managers to enhance management, leadership, and healthcare outcomes.Background: AI represents a significant transformation in healthcare management by enhancing decision‐making, communication, and resource optimization. However, the integration and strategic application of AI in nursing management are underexplored, particularly regarding its impact on leadership roles and healthcare delivery.Methods: Methodological guidelines described by PRISMA were followed, and quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology. The databases searched included the Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHLi, and PubMed. The review included quantitative, qualitative, and mixed‐method studies published between January 2015 and April 2024.Results: Fourteen studies were selected for the review. The key findings indicate that AI technologies facilitate better resource management, risk assessment, and decision‐making. AI also supports nurse managers in leading changes, enhancing communication, and optimizing administrative tasks.Conclusion: AI has been progressively integrated into nursing management, demonstrating significant benefits in operational efficiency, decision support, and leadership enhancement. However, challenges, such as resistance to technological change and ethical complexities, need to be addressed.Implications for Nursing Management: Specific training programs for nurse managers are essential to optimize the integration of AI. Such programs should focus on the management of AI applications and data analyses. In addition, creating interdisciplinary groups involving nurse managers, AI developers, and nursing staff is crucial for tailoring AI solutions to meet the unique needs of healthcare settings.
