Key Hospital Industry Trends: What California Nurses Need to Know about A.I. and Financialization

Course Description

This two-part course will examine two current trends that pose significant challenges to nurses’ ability to care and advocate for their patients. The first half of the course assesses the relationship between financialization, hospital consolidation, the nurse staffing crisis, and patient outcomes. The second half provides an overview of artificial intelligence and its applications in healthcare settings, and analyzes the potential benefits and risks to nurses, patients, and our communities. The course will include discussion of how A.I. and financialization impact the University of California system, and how nurses can protect their patients and their profession from the risks posed by these trends.

Objectives

Identify how nursing care and patient advocacy are impacted by financialization and the growing use of artificial intelligence in health care
Analyze the relationship between the financial sector, Big Tech, and the hospital industry
Evaluate collective strategies to promote RN health and safety, address industry trends that threaten quality patient care, and advance health justice
