RESUMO
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) is shifting the nursing education paradigm to competency-based education. Competency-based nursing education focuses on the nursing students' demonstration of knowledge. This shift in nursing education will rely on performance measures and data to determine success. Data and artificial intelligence can provide the nursing student with a targeted evaluation from the nursing faculty. Building on prior applications of "precision" and the use of data to drive precision medicine or precision nursing, nursing informatics is well-positioned for this paradigm shift to support data and artificial intelligence in nursing education. Little is understood about the concept of "precision nursing education" and its implications. We completed a concept analysis and defined the concept of "precision nursing education" as the use of data and artificial intelligence to measure student nurses' performance with competency-based nursing education.
