How Can Technology Impact Patient-Nurse Relationships?
Technology, when used appropriately, can enhance patient-nurse relationships. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) can streamline documentation, giving nurses more time to interact with patients. Telehealth services can provide remote care, ensuring continuity in patient-nurse relationships even when face-to-face interactions are not possible. However, over-reliance on technology can sometimes depersonalize care, so it is essential to balance technological use with human touch.
