Special Issue: Impacts of Artificial Intelligence on Nursing & Midwifery Policy and Practice

Deadline for submissions: 31 December 2024

INR invites submissions for a special issue exploring intersections between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) related to nursing and midwifery. We welcome scholarly papers exploring what regulations, policies, and guidelines that will deliver a safe and effective introduction, incorporation and administration of this technology into systems supporting nursing and midwifery in all healthcare contexts. We seek original research and evidence-based, expert opinion on the implementation of AI-assisted clinical, educational and management services, improving nursing workforce conditions, boosting administrative efficiency, monitoring compliance with patient safety policies, and improving clinical practice protocols and health system effectiveness and transparency. We invite thought-provoking articles that delve into all aspects of AI-assisted innovation and enhancement of diversity in nursing and midwifery practice to deliver health benefits to our societies.
