HUM 410 Module 4: Synthesis Paper Assignment

Technology in Nursing

Introduction

Technology in nursing is constantly evolving, and nurses must evolve with it. Technology can help nurses in a variety of ways, from improving patient care to making their workflow more efficient. One of the most important pieces of technology for nurses is the electronic health record (EHR). EHRs contain all of a patient’s important health information in one place, and they can be accessed by any healthcare provider that the patient sees. This gives nurses a complete picture of the patient’s health history, which allows them to provide better care. Other forms of technology applied in nursing include telehealth and applications, centralized command centers, databases, and artificial intelligence. The use of technology in nursing can help nurses to be more efficient and effective in their work. For example, nurses can use technology to communicate with other members of the healthcare team, order supplies, document patient care, and more. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the application of technology in nursing and the impacts on the clinical side of healthcare.
