The Mayo Clinic is committed to transforming nursing practice and reducing nurse burnout. One of the ways we are doing this is by looking for areas of nursing practice that can leverage automation, including technology and generative artificial intelligence. The implementation of Art has been a good example of this in the ambulatory care setting. By leveraging our tools and technology to generate the message, nurses have more time for critical thinking and hands on work.
