Advanced technologies in nursing have significantly transformed patient care, clinical operations, and overall healthcare delivery. Some prominent technologies include:
1. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): EHRs streamline the documentation process, reduce errors, and enable easy access to patient information for better coordination of care. 2. Telehealth: Telehealth allows nurses to provide care remotely, increasing accessibility for patients in rural areas or those with mobility issues. 3. Wearable Devices: Wearables such as smartwatches and fitness trackers monitor patient vitals in real-time, providing valuable data for ongoing care. 4. Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Robots assist surgeons and nurses in performing complex procedures with greater precision, reducing recovery times and improving outcomes. 5. Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI applications in nursing include predictive analytics, which help in identifying at-risk patients and personalizing treatment plans.
