Several key technologies have significantly impacted nursing practice. Some of these include:
Electronic Health Records (EHRs): EHRs have replaced paper records, allowing for more efficient and accurate documentation of patient information. Telehealth: Telehealth enables nurses to provide care remotely, increasing access to healthcare services, especially in underserved areas. Mobile Health Apps: These apps help nurses monitor patients' health conditions in real-time and provide timely interventions. Wearable Devices: Devices like fitness trackers and smartwatches collect data on patients' vital signs and activity levels, aiding in continuous monitoring. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS): CDSS assist nurses in making informed decisions by providing evidence-based recommendations.
