Abstract Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Patient Safety, Workflow, Governance
Working Group: Nursing Informatics Working Group
Programmatic Theme: Clinical Informatics

This three-hour, highly interactive instructional workshop uses paired “AI used effectively / AI used ineffectively” scenarios to help participants systematically identify when AI-enabled tools support clinical work versus when they introduce new risks, burdens, and inequities. Using a laminated analysis placemat, participants map observations to five core themes: transparency, workload and cognitive impact, bias and equity, override authority, and training and competency. Participants then translate analysis into action by co-creating 2–3 leverage points, specific changes in tool design, workflow integration, training, or governance that would reduce harms and make effective AI use more reliable in their own settings. As part of the small-group analysis, participants also consider the professional accountability, oversight, and liability implications of using AI-enabled tools in clinical practice (e.g., what must be verified, when to escalate or override, and what guardrails are required). A brief, structured interaction with a general-purpose LLM is used only to stress-test and refine participant-generated leverage points, not to replace clinician judgment or generate clinical recommendations. The workshop emphasizes a practical “train-the-trainer” approach by providing reusable scenarios and the placemat framework to support local implementation and discussion. This workshop has not been previously presented.

This workshop is supported by NIWG.
