In the advancements-driven environment, the developing setting of healthcare in information and communication technology (ICT) is representing a transformative change in nursing practice. Nurses, known as critical in attaining Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), are poised to influence new technologies for patient care delivery, mainly in developing nations. There is need to incorporate electronic health records (EHR), mobile apps, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) in nursing care across various positions. The chapter focuses on the implementation of AI in hospital settings for better patient outcomes. The building blocks of smart hospitals and their challenges are also highlighted. It is necessary to train the workforce in tech-related operations from time-to-time in order to have seamless operations.
