TownHall: Nursing Flow Sheets and the Art vs Science of Nursing with Anika Gardenhire

Listen Later
August 26, 2025: Anika Gardenhire, RN, Chief Digital and Transformation Officer at Ardent Health, joins Reid Stephan, VP and CIO at St. Luke’s Health System, to discuss the complicated world of nursing. As healthcare faces workforce shortages and an aging population, the discussion examines whether current documentation requirements are actual regulations or simply historical inertia that's never been questioned. Can we redesign nursing documentation to capture both the measurable "science" and the intuitive "art" that experienced nurses bring to patient care? Anika envisions a future where technology amplifies rather than replaces the human elements that define exceptional nursing care.
Key Points:
  1. 01:03 Challenges with Nursing Flow Sheets
  2. 09:39 Reimagining Nursing Documentation
  3. 17:46 Role of EHRs in Future Nursing
  4. 21:25 AI and Technology in Healthcare
  5. 24:57 Final Thoughts and Encouragement
