ECRI has named uncontrolled clinical AI the top patient safety hazard for 2025. This article explains why unchecked algorithms pose real risks at the bedside and what nurses must demand to protect patients, equity, and clinical judgment.

Christmas Eve in the ICU: when AI says 'escalate' and clinical experience says 'wait'. Every day, experienced nurses face moments where algorithms conflict with judgment. These moments of overlap reveal the true nature of human-AI collaboration and why getting them right matters for patient safety during the holidays.

Nurses now work inside a digital ecosystem where system failures turn into clinical risks. Cyber hygiene skills help nurses spot problems early, protect data accuracy, and keep patient care safe as AI tools expand across healthcare.

AI is moving fast in healthcare. Nurses sit at the center of safety, workflow, and patient-centered care. This post gives you a simple framework to use AI tools without losing clinical judgment.
