PointClickCare Summit Special: Nurse Leader Cheryl Field Spills the Tea on Empowering Nurses in the Age of AI

Happy National Nurses Week! I was honored to be invited to attend the PointClickCare Summit to interview Cheryl Field in person—a dynamic nurse informaticist and health IT leader making waves in the space. We dive into a rich conversation about the intersection of AI, nursing, and clinical workflows—straight from someone who’s walking the walk in healthcare innovation. Cheryl shares how her career path led her to PointClickCare and offers sharp insights on: The biggest challenges in integrating AI into clinical workflows—without disrupting patient care. How AI can enhance rather than replace nursing expertise, especially in documentation, monitoring, and decision support. The critical role nurse informaticists play in fighting algorithmic bias and ensuring equity in healthcare technology. How to reduce—not increase—cognitive overload through thoughtful AI implementation. Best practices for aligning AI adoption with nursing values and patient-centered care. We also get personal—Cheryl opens up about how she works best, navigates life’s challenges, and shares empowering advice for women in health IT. And of course, we spill a little tea! Cheryl shows off her mug of choice and the story behind it, keeping things cozy and real. Plot twist, she gifted me some delicious tea as a thank you for the interview! Don’t miss this one—tune in now to be inspired by Cheryl’s wisdom and warmth.
