Readiness Assessment for AI in Nursing Care Projects: Multimethods Study.
Article in JMIR nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) systems into nursing care often encounters obstacles stemming from unmet requirements and insufficient engagement with well-documented sociotechnical pitfalls. Readiness models offer a systematic way to evaluate project preparedness and to build the capabilities needed for successful artificial intelligence in nursing care (AINC) research, development, and implementation. As of yet, an evidence-based AI readiness assessment prioritizing AINC projects and accounting for their diversity in care settings is missing. Objective: This study aimed to develop a comprehensive artificial intelligence nursing care readiness assessment (AINCRA) to support planning, execution, and evaluation of AINC projects. Methods: In a sequential exploratory multimethods bottom-up approach to maturity model development, key AI readiness dimensions and attributes were identified to develop a pilot readiness assessment. The pilot version was grounded on insights from an expert workshop (n=21) and expert interviews (n=14), an online survey (n=53), a rapid review (n=292), and a nominal group consensus process. A systematic literature review (n=7) further triangulated AI readiness attributes. Finally, a think-aloud interview study and focus group discussions involving experts (n=18) from nursing practice, nursing science, and AI research and development who had conducted AINC projects prior to data collection validated the attributes. Results: The resulting AINCRA encompasses 5 core dimensions: regulatory, processual, technical, social, ethical, and community building requirements and aspects. Including 69 attributes and capabilities of AI nursing care readiness, the core dimensions reflect key areas of action where AINC project stakeholders can influence project outcomes. Clinical partners can assess their organization's maturity level in relation to the implementation of AI. An assessment of each dimension and its attributes across 5 maturity levels allows reflecting on and proactively shaping individual project approaches. Overall, experts regarded AINCRA as a useful instrument for the development, management, and evaluation of AINC projects while emphasizing that established principles of good practice in project and data management should not be neglected when using AINCRA as a project management tool. Conclusions: AINCRA enables practitioners from AI research and development, clinical partners, and nursing and health scientists to plan, evaluate, and enhance AI projects across their lifecycle, thereby supporting effective AI integration in nursing care. While AINCRA was developed within the European and German legal framework for AI in health care settings, respective attributes can be adapted to international requirements.
