The objective of this scoping review was to survey the literature on the use of AI/ML applications in analyzing inpatient EHR data to identify bundles of care (groupings of interventions). If evidence suggested AI/ML models could determine bundles, the review aimed to explore whether implementing these interventions as bundles reduced practice pattern variance and positively impacted patient care outcomes for inpatients with T2DM. Six databases were searched for articles published from January 1, 2000, to January 1, 2024. Nine studies met criteria and were summarized by aims, outcome measures, clinical or practice implications, AI/ML model types, study variables, and AI/ML model outcomes. A variety of AI/ML models were used. Multiple data sources were leveraged to train the models, resulting in varying impacts on practice patterns and outcomes. Studies included aims across 4 thematic areas to address: therapeutic patterns of care, analysis of treatment pathways and their constraints, dashboard development for clinical decision support, and medication optimization and prescription pattern mining. Multiple disparate data sources (i.e., prescription payment data) were leveraged outside of those traditionally available within EHR databases. Notably missing was the use of holistic multidisciplinary data (i.e., nursing and ancillary) to train AI/ML models. AI/ML can assist in identifying the appropriateness of specific interventions to manage diabetic care and support adherence to efficacious treatment pathways if the appropriate data are incorporated into AI/ML design. Additional data sources beyond the EHR are needed to provide more complete data to develop AI/ML models that effectively discern meaningful clinical patterns. Further study is needed to better address nursing care using AI/ML to support effective inpatient diabetes management. We are in a booming era of artificial intelligence, particularly with the increased availability of technologies that can help generate content, such as ChatGPT. Healthcare institutions are discussing or have started utilizing these innovative technologies within their workflow. Major electronic health record vendors have begun to leverage large language models to process and analyze vast amounts of clinical natural language text, performing a wide range of tasks in healthcare settings to help alleviate clinicians' burden. Although such technologies can be helpful in applications such as patient education, drafting responses to patient questions and emails, medical record summarization, and medical research facilitation, there are concerns about the tools' readiness for use within the healthcare domain and acceptance by the current workforce. The goal of this article is to provide nurses with an understanding of the currently available foundation models and artificial intelligence tools, enabling them to evaluate the need for such tools and assess how they can impact current clinical practice. This will help nurses efficiently assess, implement, and evaluate these tools to ensure these technologies are ethically and effectively integrated into healthcare systems, while also rigorously monitoring their performance and impact on patient care. As of now, a model for predicting the survival of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has not been established. This study aimed to develop a model for identifying predictors of survival over time in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest during their stay in the emergency department, using ensemble-based machine learning. A total of 26 013 patients from the Korean nationwide out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry were enrolled between January 1 and December 31, 2019. Our model, comprising 38 variables, was developed using the Survival Quilts model to improve predictive performance. We found that changes in important variables of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were observed 10 minutes after arrival at the emergency department. The important score of the predictors showed that the influence of patient age decreased, moving from the highest rank to the fifth. In contrast, the significance of reperfusion attempts increased, moving from the fourth to the highest rank. Our research suggests that the ensemble-based machine learning model, particularly the Survival Quilts, offers a promising approach for predicting survival in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The Survival Quilts model may potentially assist emergency department staff in making informed decisions quickly, reducing preventable deaths. As the awareness on violent deaths from guns, drugs, and suicides emerges as a public health crisis in the United States, attempts to prevent injury and mortality through nursing research are critical. The National Violent Death Reporting System provides public health surveillance of US violent deaths; however, understanding the National Violent Death Reporting System's research utility is limited. The purpose of our rapid review of the 2019-2023 literature was to understand to what extent artificial intelligence methods are being used with the National Violent Death Reporting System. We identified 16 National Violent Death Reporting System artificial intelligence studies, with more than half published after 2020. The text-rich content of National Violent Death Reporting System enabled researchers to center their artificial intelligence approaches mostly on natural language processing (50%) or natural language processing and machine learning (37%). Significant heterogeneity in approaches, techniques, and processes was noted across the studies, with critical methods information often lacking. The aims and focus of National Violent Death Reporting System studies were homogeneous and mostly examined suicide among nurses and older adults. Our findings suggested that artificial intelligence is a promising approach to the National Violent Death Reporting System data with significant untapped potential in its use. Artificial intelligence may prove to be a powerful tool enabling nursing scholars and practitioners to reduce the number of preventable, violent deaths. The last-minute cancellation of surgeries profoundly affects patients and their families. This research aimed to forecast these cancellations using EMR data and meteorological conditions at the time of the appointment, using a machine learning approach. We retrospectively gathered medical data from 13 440 pediatric patients slated for surgery from 2018 to 2021. Following data preprocessing, we utilized random forests, logistic regression, linear support vector machines, gradient boosting trees, and extreme gradient boosting trees to predict these abrupt cancellations. The efficacy of these models was assessed through performance metrics. The analysis revealed that key factors influencing last-minute cancellations included the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, average wind speed, average rainfall, preanesthetic assessments, and patient age. The extreme gradient boosting algorithm outperformed other models in predicting cancellations, boasting an area under the curve value of 0.923 and an accuracy of 0.841. This algorithm yielded superior sensitivity (0.840), precision (0.837), and F1 score (0.838) relative to the other models. These insights underscore the potential of machine learning, informed by EMRs and meteorological data, in forecasting last-minute surgical cancellations. The extreme gradient boosting algorithm holds promise for clinical deployment to curtail healthcare expenses and avert adverse patient-family experiences. This study aimed to identify the main themes from exit interviews of adult patients with type 2 diabetes after completion of a diabetes education program. Eighteen participants with type 2 diabetes completed an exit interview regarding their program experience and satisfaction. Semistructured interview questions were used, and the interviews were auto-recorded. The interview transcripts were preprocessed and analyzed using four natural language processing–based text-mining techniques. The top 30 words from the term frequency and term frequency–inverse document frequency each were derived. In the N-gram analysis, the connection strength of “diabetes” and “education” was the highest, and the simultaneous connectivity of word chains ranged from a maximum of seven words to a minimum of two words. Based on the CONvergence of iteration CORrelation (CONCOR) analysis, three clusters were generated, and each cluster was named as follows: participation in a diabetes education program to control blood glucose, exercise, and use of digital devices. This study using text mining proposes a new and useful approach to visualize data to develop patient-centered diabetes education. New nurses must acquire accurate knowledge of medication administration, as it directly affects patient safety. This study aimed to develop a microlearning-based self-directed learning chatbot on medication administration for novice nurses. Furthermore, the study had the objective of evaluating the chatbot feasibility. The chatbot covered two main topics: medication administration processes and drug-specific management, along with 21 subtopics. Fifty-eight newly hired nurses on standby were asked to use the chatbot over a 2-week period. Moreover, we evaluated the chatbot's feasibility through a survey that gauged changes in their confidence in medication administration knowledge, intrinsic learning motivation, satisfaction with the chatbot's learning content, and usability. After using the chatbot, participants' confidence in medication administration knowledge significantly improved in all topics (P
