Nurses have expressed a growing interest in artificial intelligence (AI), but automation tools remain underutilized to address key challenges like nurse burnout and heavy workloads, which are associated with reduced productivity, intent to leave, and negative patient outcomes. A web-based survey was administered to clinical nurses and nurse leaders practicing in acute care settings in the United States to investigate the significance of workflow automation—defined as technologies that automate manual, repetitive tasks through rule-based processes (eg, automation in clinical documentation or scheduling)—in nursing practice. The results showed that nurse leaders have a better perception of using workflow automation in their practice compared to clinical nurses. Clinical nurses who use workflow automation are somewhat satisfied, while nurse leaders who use it are mostly dissatisfied. Partnership between information technology (IT) and nursing, as well as strong IT support, were significant predictors of workflow automation satisfaction for clinical nurses, while prioritizing innovation and efficiency in an organization was a significant predictor for nurse leaders.
