Montefiore denies replacing nurses with AI, framing Datavant adoption as investment in patient care technology rather than workforce displacement.

Oracle Summary

Joe Solmonese lands at 71/100 (heavy cope) for denial. Explicit denial of AI displacement by institutional representative after 12 nurses lost jobs following mandatory AI tool adoption. Denial paired with narrative inversion positioning layoffs as 'investing in new technology' for patient benefit. Score elevated by absence of acknowledgment that AI implementation correlated directly with workforce elimination—a classic denial pattern where structural economic reality (AI replacing labor) is reframed as neutral-to-positive technological progress.
