Week 9 - Future in nursing Flashcards
What is ICN’s vision of AI and healthcare?
Working together, we are at the forefront of incorporating advanced technology into healthcare without losing the human element.
We are determined that science and technology remain the servant of compassionate and ethical caring that includes meeting spiritual and emotional needs
What is the biggest challenge with implementing AI into healthcare?
Technology is often seen as dehumanizing and depersonalizing and in paradigmatic opposition to humane care.
What is a care robot?
Device integrated into care practices to assist healthcare personnel in their role as care taker
Assistant to surgeon (daVinci surgical robot)
TUG robot (delivery of sheets and medications, supplies)
Reminders to persons (medications)
Assist in physical labour
Social goals (Paro robot)
What are examples of technology as ‘completers of human beings’?
- mind controlled prosthetic limbs
- exoskeletons
- Organic or biological-human/tissues or xenografts
- nanobots

What is On Tronto’s view of caring?
Robots lack capacities to provide care (lack capacity to care. Thus AI will not be ethically appropriate for tasks that require caring)
What is the ‘held view’ on AI?
AI may superficially perform caring by demonstrating attentiveness and responsiveness only. (cannot engage in caring as long as it requires internal attitudes)
What is Vanlaere and Gastmans view on AI?
Care is provided because of an internal moral obligation to care (robots do not have this so cannot provide care)
What is nursing informatics?
“..the application of computer technology to all fields of nursing - nursing services, nurse education, and nurse research”
“..science and practice [which] integrates nursing, its information and knowledge, and their management, with information and communication technologies to promote the health of people, families and communities worldwide”
What is the Sociotechnical Perspective
A dynamic relationship between how humans and technology interact within an environment.
Evaluate the ICT performance within the context in which it operates.
ICT understood within the larger environment that includes nurses, consumers, health care professionals,
Leading to a more holistic (and accurate) understanding of how informatics functions.
