How do cost and resource allocation impact the integration of technology in nursing?
The implementation of new technologies often requires significant financial investment. This includes the cost of purchasing new equipment, software, and training programs. For many healthcare institutions, especially those with limited budgets, allocating resources for technology can be a major challenge. Additionally, ongoing maintenance and updates add to the financial burden. Balancing the cost of technology with the need to provide high-quality patient care is a complex issue that requires careful planning and prioritization.
