    Anyone who thinks this is remotely possible or a good idea has no idea what healthcare providers actually do on a day to day basis- especially in inpatient settings like hospitals

      So the question is do the hospital administrators have any idea what healthcare providers actually do on a day to day basis

        When it’s gonna cost them $81/hour less per nurse, i don’t think it’s even gonna matter. They’ll let someone else will deal with the fallout

          Yeah. Everything is a calculated business decision.

          They’ll look at the laws, the penalties, and do whatever they believe will maximize profit.

          Boeing did the same thing when they cut corners and killed over 300 people.

            Narrator : A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one.

            Woman on Plane : Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?

            Narrator : You wouldn’t believe.

            Woman on Plane : Which car company do you work for?

            Narrator : A major one.

      I agree that nurses are invaluable and irreplaceable and that no AI is going to be able to replicate what a human’s judgement can do. But honestly it’ll be the same as what our hospital’s “nursing line” offers us right now. You call and they ask scripted questions and give you scripted responses which usually ends up with them recommending that you go in. I get that it’s for liability but after 2 calls for our newborn we stopped calling and just started making our own judgement. But for actual inpatient settings? Absolutely no way. There’s no replacement for actual healthcare providers.
