OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
0%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Mostly fireproof. AI hands you the paperwork and steps back.
25% of this role’s O*NET tasks are within reach of today’s AI. That is the core-weighted exposure score from Eloundou et al. 2023 (“GPTs are GPTs”). It measures a capability ceiling, not a headcount forecast. Mostly safe. AI helps around the edges, but the job stays human.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Record food and fluid intake and output
- Make appointments, keep records, or perform other clerical duties in doctors' offices or clinics
- Observe patients, charting and reporting changes in patients' conditions, such as adverse reactions to medication or treatment, and taking any necessary action
- Measure and record patients' vital signs, such as height, weight, temperature, blood pressure, pulse, or respiration
- Evaluate nursing intervention outcomes, conferring with other healthcare team members as necessary
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Provide basic patient care or treatments, such as taking temperatures or blood pressures, dressing wounds, treating bedsores, giving enemas or douches, rubbing with alcohol, massaging, or performing catheterizations
- Supervise nurses' aides or assistants
- Assemble and use equipment, such as catheters, tracheotomy tubes, or oxygen suppliers
- Collect samples, such as blood, urine, or sputum from patients, and perform routine laboratory tests on samples
- Help patients with bathing, dressing, maintaining personal hygiene, moving in bed, or standing and walking
THE HONEST PART. A percentage is not a pink slip. High exposure usually means a role shrinks and shifts toward judgment, direction and responsibility: the parts a model can’t sign its name to. Exposure ≠ displacement. Breathe.
