Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Emerging Technologies Toolkit for Healthcare
Introduction
The ZIMAM Nursing Innovation Advisory Workgroup is creating a comprehensive AI & Emerging Technologies Toolkit designed to support healthcare organizations in evaluating, selecting, and implementing new technologies.
This toolkit features:
- AI Instructional Slide Deck - guiding leaders in understanding AI applications.
- Technology Heat Map - visualizing adoption trends and priorities.
- Emerging Technology Definitions - clarifying concepts for practical use.
Heatmap & Definitions of Technologies
The ZIMAM Nursing Innovation Advisory Workgroup has developed an Innovation Inventory Heat Map to provide evidence-based guidance for healthcare technology decision-making.
This Heat Map serves as a snapshot of leading healthcare technology trends in nursing, offering organizations a visual comparison of innovations based on their overall value and degree of implementation difficulty. Developed in collaboration with industry experts, the tool highlights practical insights from those who have successfully adopted these emerging solutions.
By incorporating Heat Map data into their strategic planning, healthcare organizations can better evaluate the feasibility of proposed innovations. This approach ensures that new technologies are user-centered, practical, and systematically implemented—ultimately driving improvements in patient care and operational excellence.
