AI-Enhanced Evidence Synthesis Across the NPD Practice Model: A Replicable Workflow to Support ANCC-Accredited Continuing Education.

Nursing professional development (NPD) practitioners face increasing challenges synthesizing evidence for accredited continuing education amid expanding literature and regulatory requirements. This manuscript presents a replicable AI-assisted workflow aligned with the NPD Practice Model, NPD Scope and Standards of Practice, and ANCC accreditation criteria. Using a California implicit bias continuing education case study, it demonstrates how AI can enhance evidence synthesis and environmental scanning while maintaining NPD practitioners as the essential "human in the loop."
