Resumen

La transformación digital exige modelos estratégicos para integrar simulación clínica virtual con inteligencia artificial en enfermería, garantizando alineación curricular, evaluación del razonamiento clínico y gobernanza institucional sostenible. El objetivo de este estudio fue proponer un modelo estratégico orientado a la adopción de la simulación clínica virtual basada en inteligencia artificial en programas de formación en enfermería. Se realizó una revisión de alcance PRISMA-ScR, identificando componentes estratégicos, curriculares, tecnológicos y éticos en 14 estudios para fundamentar analíticamente un modelo de gestión curricular institucional. La evidencia mostró beneficios formativos de simulación con inteligencia artificial, pero heterogeneidad en integración, evaluación y gobernanza, justificando un modelo estructurado con dimensiones curriculares, evaluativas, tecnológicas y regulatorias interrelacionadas. Se concluye que la adopción sostenible de simulación clínica virtual con inteligencia artificial requiere alineación curricular, estandarización evaluativa y gobernanza ética, consolidando decisiones estratégicas institucionales orientadas al desarrollo evaluable del razonamiento clínico.
