AI Replacing Nurses: Short-Term Cure for Hospital Finances, Long-Term Poison?

I noticed an interesting detail: Montefiore Hospital replaced Marilyn Shuler, a nurse with 39 years of experience, with AI. Her role was utilization review—mainly reading medical records, verifying insurance coverage, and assessing the necessity of hospitalization. These positions pay around $75k-$90k annually, while the annual subscription cost for AI software might be only $12k-$20k, representing savings of up to 75%-85%. From a financial perspective, this is an almost irresistible temptation.
