The integration of AI in healthcare offers great potential but raises key ethical challenges such as privacy, algorithmic bias, accountability, equity, and impact on professionals and patients. Addressing these issues requires collaboration among stakeholders, strong regulatory frameworks, and transparency to ensure the fair, safe, and ethical use of AI in health care.

Dr. Gillie Gabay explores five key barriers to healthcare innovation: complex regulations, high costs, poor data interoperability, outdated reimbursement models, and cultural resistance. She proposes collaborative strategies to overcome these challenges, emphasizing regulatory engagement, funding reform, data standardization, value-based care, and a culture that supports innovation and continuous improvement.

The internal locus of control (ILOC) strongly influences innovation in healthcare. Professionals with ILOC feel responsible for outcomes, take initiative, and drive change. Research shows nurses with high ILOC are more innovative. Cultivating ILOC through autonomy, support, training, and recognition helps foster a culture of innovation and enables EntrepreNursing in healthcare systems.
