The Impact When Caring and Technology Meets

 

   Technology is an important component of the health care field because doctors, nurses and medical specialists use technology in the diagnosis and treatment of health problems.
    As health care organizations adopt information technology to improve quality and patient safety, reduce errors, increase efficiency, decrease time-consuming and redundant paperwork, and enhance communication, they’re finding that IT can significantly impact nursing work flow.

   

Today, we can say that technology really has a big impact on Nursing. This is apparent through the improvements on the four nursing areas. First in line is the Nursing Practice where EHR is being used for assessing problems, documenting care, tracking the care process and measuring the outcomes. Thus, the electronic version of nursing practice has revolutionized and transformed nursing practice. 

     

 

Second, the Nursing Administration in hospitals has also changed with the introduction of the computer that clinks nursing departments together. Most policy and procedure manuals are assessed and retrieved by computer. The Internet is being used by nurses to access digital libraries, online resources, and research protocols at the bedside.

 

Nowadays, technology is everywhere, it makes other equipments work. it makes our job load easy with the collaboration of other equipments. Just like in the hospital, where we will be practicing our knowledge and skills in the near future, technology is such a very big help not only in terms of time saving but also in the accuracy of data and also in the aspect of critical observation needs for the patients. So, as we can see there is a good impact when these two aspect meets. But we must only assure that we are capable enough to handle it to provide safety of the patients. And that must be as always.
