American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) 2026 — Chicago. Grateful for the week. Emily Will MHA, RN, ONC spent the last few days with CNOs who are thinking seriously about what it means to lead nursing organizations through a period of real technological change. A few themes that kept coming up: - Staffing and workforce experience gaps are still the top concern in the room, but the conversation is shifting toward how leaders sustain themselves through it. - The speed of change is outrunning the systems meant to support it. The ask from CNOs isn't to slow down — it's for tools that help them lead through it with intention. - Where is AI actually delivering ROI? The clearest answer: when it returns time to nurses at the bedside and space to nurse leaders to coach, be present, and drive outcomes. These are the conversations that shape what we build. Thank you to everyone who connected with the GW RhythmX (Get Well + RhythmX AI) team. #AONL2026 #NursingLeadership #CNO #PatientEngagement #GWRhythmX #SmartRoom #PrecisionCareAI
