Automated systems are crucial for several reasons:
1. Efficiency: They streamline administrative tasks, allowing nurses to focus more on direct patient care. 2. Accuracy: Automated systems reduce the risk of human error in medication administration, patient records, and diagnostics. 3. Data Management: They provide a secure and organized way to store and retrieve patient information. 4. Patient Safety: These systems can alert nurses to potential issues such as drug interactions or abnormal vital signs.
