Several key technologies have been integrated into nursing practice to enhance patient care and streamline workflows:
Electronic Health Records (EHRs): These digital records allow for easy access and sharing of patient information among healthcare providers, improving continuity of care. Telehealth: This technology enables remote consultations, making healthcare more accessible, especially for patients in rural or underserved areas. Wearable Health Devices: Devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers help monitor vital signs and activity levels, providing real-time data to nurses and doctors. Mobile Health Applications: Apps designed for health management can assist patients in tracking their medications, appointments, and health metrics. Automated Medication Dispensing Systems: These systems ensure accurate medication delivery, reducing the likelihood of errors.
