Aim: The aim of this study is to explore the experiences and perceptions of final-year nursing students on the acceptability and feasibility of using a chatbot for clinical decision-making and patient safety.

Background: The effective and inclusive use of new technologies such as conversational agents or chatbots could support nurses in increasing evidence-based care and decreasing low-quality services.

Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was used through focus group interviews. The data analysis was conducted using a thematic analysis.

Results: This study included 114 participants. After our data analysis, two main themes emerged: (i) experiences in the use of a chatbot service for clinical decision-making and and (ii) integrating conversational agents into the organizational safety culture.

Conclusions: The findings of our study provide preliminary support for the acceptability and feasibility of adopting SafeBot, a chatbot for clinical decision-making and patient safety. Our results revealed substantial recommendations for refining navigation, layout and content, as well as useful insights to support its acceptance in real nursing practice.

Implications For Nursing Management: Leaders and managers may well see artificial intelligence-based conversational agents like SafeBot as a potential solution in modern nursing practice for effective problem-solving resolution, innovative staffing and nursing care delivery models at the bedside and criteria for measuring and ensure quality and patient safety.

Purpose: Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) has been associated with a variety of adverse outcomes, most notably hematologic malignancy and ischemic cardiovascular disease. A series of recent studies also suggest that CH may play a role in the outcomes of patients with solid tumors, including breast cancer. Here, we review the clinical and biological data that underlie potential connections between CH, inflammation, and breast cancer, with a focus on the prevalence and impact of clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential in patients with breast cancer.

Objective: To develop a framework that models the impact of electronic health record (EHR) systems on healthcare professionals' well-being and their relationships with patients, using interdisciplinary insights to guide machine learning in identifying value patterns important to healthcare professionals in EHR systems.

Materials And Methods: A theoretical framework of EHR systems' implementation was developed using interdisciplinary literature from healthcare, information systems, and management science focusing on the systems approach, clinical decision-making, and interface terminologies.

Observations: Healthcare professionals balance personal norms of narrative and data-driven communication in knowledge creation for EHRs by integrating detailed patient stories with structured data.
