Abstract

Aim: To describe the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by nurse managers to enhance management, leadership, and healthcare outcomes. Background: AI represents a significant transformation in healthcare management by enhancing decision‐making, communication, and resource optimization. However, the integration and strategic application of AI in nursing management are underexplored, particularly regarding its impact on leadership roles and healthcare delivery. Methods: Methodological guidelines described by PRISMA were followed, and quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology. The databases searched included the Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHLi, and PubMed. The review included quantitative, qualitative, and mixed‐method studies published between January 2015 and April 2024. Results: Fourteen studies were selected for the review. The key findings indicate that AI technologies facilitate better resource management, risk assessment, and decision‐making. AI also supports nurse managers in leading changes, enhancing communication, and optimizing administrative tasks. Conclusion: AI has been progressively integrated into nursing management, demonstrating significant benefits in operational efficiency, decision support, and leadership enhancement. However, challenges, such as resistance to technological change and ethical complexities, need to be addressed. Implications for Nursing Management: Specific training programs for nurse managers are essential to optimize the integration of AI. Such programs should focus on the management of AI applications and data analyses. In addition, creating interdisciplinary groups involving nurse managers, AI developers, and nursing staff is crucial for tailoring AI solutions to meet the unique needs of healthcare settings.

  • AI-driven predictive analytics and clinical decision support systems contribute to optimized patient outcomes by enabling early intervention and personalized care strategies.

    “Similarly, AI-driven predictive analytics and clinical decision support systems contribute to optimized patient outcomes by enabling early intervention and personalized care strategies [32,45].”

    From The Role of AI in Nursing Education and Practice: Umbrella Review (2025) · cites this paper as [45]

    The Introduction (page unavailable) describes AI-based patient risk prediction, while the Discussion (page unavailable) says predictive analytics supports decision-making. The Conclusions (page unavailable) also link AI in nurse management to improved patient care and outcomes. Our copy does not establish that clinical decision support systems improve outcomes specifically by enabling early intervention and personalized care strategies. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Automating administrative tasks such as documentation, scheduling, and resource allocation reduces nurse workload.

    “Automating administrative tasks such as documentation, scheduling, and resource allocation not only reduces nurse workload but also enhances workflow efficiency and patient safety [45,57].”

    From The Role of AI in Nursing Education and Practice: Umbrella Review (2025) · cites this paper as [45]

    The Introduction says AI can reduce administrative work in nursing and automate routine healthcare-administration tasks; Results §3.4 also reports reduced administrative burdens. The Conclusions discuss resource allocation and decreased workloads, but the copy does not specifically establish that automating documentation or scheduling reduces nurse workload, and it frames the workload benefit as a potential outcome. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Continuous professional development is essential for equipping nurse educators with the skills needed to implement AI tools effectively.

    “Furthermore, continuous professional development was identified as essential for equipping nurse educators with the skills needed to implement AI tools effectively [42,45].”

    From The Role of AI in Nursing Education and Practice: Umbrella Review (2025) · cites this paper as [45]

    The Conclusions recommend continuous education and training to equip nurse managers to use AI effectively. The claim applies that recommendation to nurse educators, a different group not addressed in the relevant passages. Page numbers were not provided in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.87)

  • Automating administrative tasks enhances patient safety.

    “Automating administrative tasks such as documentation, scheduling, and resource allocation not only reduces nurse workload but also enhances workflow efficiency and patient safety [45,57].”

    From The Role of AI in Nursing Education and Practice: Umbrella Review (2025) · cites this paper as [45]

    The Introduction says AI can automate routine administrative tasks, reduce administrative burdens, and improve operational efficiency. Results §3.4 separately reports that technologically advanced healthcare environments enhance safety, but it does not establish that automating administrative tasks itself improves patient safety. No page numbers are provided in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.85)

  • This gap risks fostering overreliance on AI systems, potentially eroding essential interpersonal skills and undermining core nursing values such as empathy and patient-centered care.

    “This gap risks fostering overreliance on AI systems, potentially eroding essential interpersonal skills and undermining core nursing values such as empathy and patient-centered care [45,57].”

    From The Role of AI in Nursing Education and Practice: Umbrella Review (2025) · cites this paper as [45]

    The Discussion identifies loss of essential communication skills due to technological dependence as a threat, supporting the concern about overreliance and eroding interpersonal skills. It does not say that this dependence undermines empathy or patient-centered care; its discussion of ethical risks focuses instead on privacy, autonomy, and responsibility. The indexed passages provide section labels but no page numbers. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
