1. PHI Protection & Data Ethics

• Do not use identifiable patient data in any AI-generated content.
• Use de-identified data sets (e.g., only vital signs trends, aggregated length of stay, or readmission rates) for predictive analysis and QI.
• Apply data masking techniques if internal data is processed through any AI tool.

2. Separate AI System from EHR (as a separate program or App)

• Operate the AI agent outside the EHR environment to:
• Minimize security risks (The recommended setup is for the EHR system have their own local, in-house AI, so data is not processed outside the EHR system.)
• Maintain a “co-pilot” AI model rather than an automated decision-maker
• Avoid accidental PHI exposure
• Use AI in dashboards, planning tools, or staff communication systems that pull from EHR reports but do not feed back into it.

3. AI Agent Constitutionally-Aligned Operation

Adopt the principles outlined in the AI Constitution for Critical Care (see in FAQ ):

• Transparency: Clearly show rationale behind staffing or scheduling suggestions.
• Control & Oversight: Nurse leaders must have the ability to override, adjust, or ignore AI outputs without penalty.
• Bias Mitigation: Regularly audit for fairness in assignments, training suggestions, or retention strategies.
• Servant Leadership Support: AI should reduce burdens and enhance the manager’s leadership—not replace decision-making .

4. AI Output Management for Team Learning & Knowledge Building

Store your results of your AI interaction. Use Notion or Shared Notes Platform, as a knowledge base of all the important output. You can share the knowledge with your team.

5. Safe, Ethical, Effective Deployment Checklist

For Nurse Leaders Deploying AI in Daily Practice

• Validate AI tools are separate from direct PHI systems
• Document logic behind each AI-generated recommendation
• Periodically audit for output fairness and relevance
• Engage staff in feedback about AI-assisted decisions
• Save learnings to a team-shared, protected platform
• Align usage with principles of safety, collaboration, and leadership empowerment 

Healthy AI-Human Interaction Practices in a Hospital Setting

Setup of Place and Interaction Model

Physical/Virtual Environment:

• Equip ideally with dual screens or split screen: one for AI output, one for leadership dashboard (e.g., staffing, census, QI metrics).
• Use noise reduction tools (if physical) and focus mode settings (if digital) to support clear thinking.
• A motorized table /desk that can transform into a standing desk is ideal. They are inexpensive.

 Interaction with Al:

• Begin by asking how to approach a certain opportunity or problem. Give context. Ask for possible blind spots.)
• Limit interaction to 10–20 minutes at a time: promotes focus, avoids over-reliance. (Pomodoro technique) Take a walk before coming back again.
• Use AI as a first draft, not final answer—leaders must apply critical thinking, ethical judgment, and local knowledge.

Avoid Cognitive Overload:

• Batch AI tasks—schedule 2–3 weekly major “AI consult” times vs. constant requests. The rest of the times is education/ mentoring.
• Prioritize interpretation and reflection over raw consumption. Give it your personality, values and brand.
• Journal decisions or insights after major AI-supported sessions.
