Responsible, impactful AI offerings will focus
on improving student clinical judgment and educator workflows
Wolters Kluwer Health announced today plans to expand the role
of artificial intelligence (AI) in its nursing education products
and solutions. Having already started with Lippincott®
CoursePoint+, nursing education's most trusted curriculum solution
designed to successfully transition the next generation of
learners, the upcoming solutions will help reduce faculty workload
and offer students AI-personalized remediation tools with rich
content, based specifically on their performance data.
“The use of AI in nursing education is poised to usher in a new
era of learning and proficiency. Wolters Kluwer has been leading
the way in the early use cases of artificial intelligence in
nursing education, starting with Lippincott® CoursePoint+ which
incorporates machine learning to facilitate adaptive learning,”
said Julie Stegman, Vice President, Wolters Kluwer
Health Learning & Practice. “We are focusing on building
and integrating AI that adds value to both nurse educators and
students, ensuring that it is meaningful.”
Using AI to support more practice-ready nurses With a
legacy built on collaboration with nurse faculty and those in the
field, Wolters Kluwer is actively working to apply AI in
responsible, meaningful ways. The company is taking a human in the
loop approach to AI, creating new technologies that work in tandem
with the author-created content which leading industry minds have
helped curate.
At a time when nursing programs must produce more practice ready
nurses, sophisticated tools to support the development of clinical
judgment are more important than ever. AI technology can help ease
faculty and student pain points by leveraging a nursing student’s
performance data for tailored remediation and to prepare students
for safer clinical practice. This allows faculty to focus their
time on overall class needs, creating active, clinical-based
activities that foster students' clinical judgment.
Putting AI to work “The nursing workforce and education
landscapes are facing unique challenges to prepare new nurses for
the day-to-day demands of clinical practice. The intersection of
these challenges presents opportunities for AI to help in
graduating more clinically confident nurses,” said Cynthia Foronda
PhD, RN, CNE, CHSE, ANEF, FAAN, Assistant Dean for Innovation and
Scholarship at The University of Miami. “Supporting efforts to
target areas where a student needs more work and to give them the
tools to improve can positively shape their learning experience,
while making them more prepared to enter the workforce.”
Artificial intelligence has been part of Wolters Kluwer's
digital product development for more than a decade, contributing to
a range of solutions that now generate approximately 50% of the
company's digital revenues. In fact, Wolters Kluwer Health recently
announced AI Labs, a collaborative resource that brings the power
of generative AI to UpToDate, its market-leading clinical decision
support solution, helping medical professionals make more informed
decisions. Visit the Wolters Kluwer AI center to see the company’s
commitment to developing artificial intelligence in an ethical and
responsible manner with Artificial Intelligence Principles that
incorporate key standards of use.
