Healthcare technology firms impact nursing in various ways:
Electronic Health Records (EHRs): These systems enable nurses to access and update patient information in real-time, improving care coordination and reducing errors. Telemedicine: Allows nurses to provide remote care, especially in underserved areas, enhancing accessibility and continuity of care. Wearable Devices: These devices monitor patient vital signs and other health metrics, allowing nurses to track patient health continuously and respond promptly to changes. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS): These tools assist nurses in making evidence-based clinical decisions, enhancing patient outcomes. Automated Medication Dispensing Systems: Improve medication management, reduce errors, and enhance patient safety.
