Creating Perinatal Nursing Care Plans Using ChatGPT: A Pathway to Improve Nursing Care Plans and Reduce Documentation Burden.
Article in The Journal of perinatal & neonatal nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundExtensive time spent on documentation in electronic health records (EHRs) impedes patient care and contributes to nurse burnout. Artificial intelligence-based clinical decision support tools within the EHR, such as ChatGPT, can provide care plan recommendations to the perinatal nurse. The lack of explicit methodologies for effectively integrating ChatGPT led to our initiative to build and demonstrate our ChatGPT-4 prompt to support nurse care planning.
methodsWe employed our process model, previously tested with 22 diverse medical-surgical patient scenarios, to generate a tailored prompt for ChatGPT-4 to produce care plan suggestions for an exemplar patient presenting with preterm labor and gestational diabetes. A comparative analysis was conducted by evaluating the output against a "nurse-generated care plan" developed by our team of nurses on content alignment, accuracy of standardized nursing terminology, and prioritization of care.
resultsChatGPT-4 delivered suggestions for nursing diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes comparable to the "nurse-generated care plan." It accurately identified major care areas, avoided irrelevant or unnecessary recommendations, and identified top priority care. Of the 24 labels generated by ChatGPT-4, 16 correctly utilized standardized nursing terminology.
conclusionThis demonstration of the use of our ChatGPT-4 prompt illustrates the potential of leveraging a large language model to assist perinatal nurses in creating care plans. The next steps are improving the accuracy of ChatGPT-4-generated standardized nursing terminology and integrating our prompt into EHRs. This work supports our broader goal of enhancing patient outcomes while mitigating the burden of documentation that contributes to nurse burnout.
