Technology can both enhance and hinder trust in nursing:
1. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): EHRs can improve the accuracy and accessibility of patient information, thereby enhancing trust. However, concerns about data privacy and security can create mistrust. 2. Telehealth: Telehealth services can increase access to care and convenience for patients, potentially building trust. However, the lack of face-to-face interaction can sometimes impede the development of a trusting relationship. 3. Patient Portals: These portals allow patients to access their health information and communicate with their healthcare providers, fostering transparency and trust.
