Report by Roosevelt institutes argues apps encourages nurses to work for less pay and can threaten patient wellbeing
A new report published on Tuesday is sounding the alarm on the rise of “Uber for nursing” – a growing gig industry in which artificial intelligence is being used by hospitals and other healthcare facilities to aid nurses.
The report published by the Roosevelt Institute argues: “These apps encourage nurses to work for less pay, fail to provide certainty about scheduling and the amount or nature of work, take little to no accountability for worker safety, and can threaten patient wellbeing by placing nurses in unfamiliar clinical environments with no onboarding or facility training.”
