Algorithmic bias in health care: Opportunities for nurses to improve equality in the age of artificial intelligence

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) consists of a range of sophisticated computational techniques, encompassing machine learning algorithms and natural language processing among others, that are lauded as a way to improve clinical decision making, patient care, and health service delivery. A recent systematic review of AI in nursing and midwifery found many clinical, managerial, and educational applications of these predictive algorithms over the last 20 years covering areas such as wound care, critical care, falls, infection control, emergency care, older adult care, and education among others (O'Connor et al., 2022).
