Part 3 of Our What is a Nurse Planner? Series:

The Future of Continuing Education: Combining Nurse Planner Expertise with AI and Automated Systems

As healthcare continues to evolve, the future of continuing education (CE) lies in combining human expertise with cutting-edge technology. The Nursing Professional Development specialty is guided by research-based standards and dedicated to improving outcomes. With the rise of automated systems, new opportunities are emerging to further elevate and enhance these educational programs.

By integrating automation into the CE process, nurse planners can now easily streamline tasks like evaluation collection, certificate delivery, financial reporting, and outcome monitoring. AI provides an unprecedented ability to mine EHR and population health data as well as offer assistance with content creation and dissemination.

Nurse planners bring their expertise in interprofessional and collaborative partnerships, ethics, role development, and educational design to promote inclusive and impactful education. The combination of expert oversight and AI-driven systems creates a more efficient, effective learning environment that ensures the highest quality of education.
