Abstract

Background: Amidst the current nursing crisis, nurse educators and practitioners are pivotal, necessitating innovative collaborations and partnerships to elevate healthcare models. To address the intricacies of our healthcare system, it is imperative to explore inventive approaches. According to Rony et al. (2024), "With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), nursing practice will advance in the modern healthcare landscape" (p. 1). AI has the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery, enhance patient outcomes, and redefine the nursing role (Rony et al., 2024). One strategy to augment healthcare models involves technology integration. Partnering with technology companies can facilitate developing and implementing advanced simulations, telehealth platforms, remote monitoring devices, and AI. By automating routine tasks, AI enables nurses to concentrate on urgent patient care. needs. Rony et al. (2024) emphasize that AI holds promise in improving the quality and accuracy of nursing diagnoses and interventions by providing realtime information and evidence-based recommendations (p. 2). Patients can also benefit from AI-driven virtual assistants, aiding in medication information, self-care practices, and addressing healthcare inquiries (Rony et al., 2024). The recent approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to integrate AI technologies into the medical sector underscores the potential of AI in enhancing healthcare services and reducing health risks (Albahri et al., 2023). Methods: Exploring collaborations among research, healthcare, and academic institutes is imperative for challenging the current status quo. Research endeavors should center on enhancing nursing staffing ratios, devising strategies to boost job satisfaction, and developing practical nursing models. Promoting and fostering partnerships between nurses and professionals across various healthcare disciplines is crucial. Conclusion: The formation of interdisciplinary teams is vital for tackling intricate health issues linked to patient needs and fostering shared decision-making processes. Healthcare and academic institutions should implement comprehensive employee wellness programs. These initiatives should prioritize mental health, stress management, and work-life balance, aiming
