In plain language

The bill governs registered nurses' use of artificial intelligence in healthcare settings.

This bill updates the Nurse Practice Act to address the use of artificial intelligence by registered nurses. It sets guidelines for AI use in clinical decision support while ensuring that human oversight and patient safety remain a priority.

What this means for you
  • Workers: Registered nurses will receive training and guidance on the use of AI, ensuring they can effectively integrate these technologies into their practice.
  • Healthcare: Healthcare entities must ensure that AI is used responsibly and that nurses have access to necessary information about AI recommendations.

Summary

Amends the Nurse Practice Act. In provisions concerning registered professional nurses, adds provisions concerning: the use of artificial intelligence in recorded or transcribed encounters; prohibition on substituting artificial intelligence for nursing services; use of artificial intelligence as clinical decision support under the control of a registered professional nurse; patient notice and transparency; confidentiality protections; exceptions for nonclinical activity; and defined terms. Amends the grounds for discipline to add violations of the artificial intelligence provisions by a registered professional nurse. Requires a health care entity that employs registered professional nurses and deploys artificial intelligence in direct patient care to maintain validation and bias monitoring records for each system and make such records available to the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation upon request; provide registered professional nurses with training on intended use, data limits, and known failure modes; ensure registered professional nurses have access to data inputs and key factors that produced any recommendation used in direct patient care; and prohibit staffing, triage, admission, discharge, or transfer decisions that rely solely on artificial intelligence. Allows the Department to investigate any health care entity that employs registered professional nurses for a violation of the artificial intelligence provisions. Effective immediately.
