Health care providers tout using AI tools to help ease the administrative burden for medical staff, but a new survey showed that the vast majority of nurses using AI don’t trust it due to inaccuracies.
According to a survey by Incredible Health, a health care staffing company, 44% of nurses now use AI at work, nearly triple the 15% who reported using it last year. But 83% of respondents also said that AI is “rarely or only sometimes accurate enough to act on without checking it first.”
Nearly half of nurses who used AI said “their last use saved little or no time,” but the percentage improves with training. Among nurses with proper training, 24% said they saved over an hour per day.
The most common uses include documenting patient interactions, drafting emails and patient education materials, and looking up drug or clinical references.
The findings suggest that wider AI adoption has not yet translated into widespread trust or measurable productivity gains among frontline health care workers.
