Nursing in the Digital Age: Technology's Impact on Healthcare

Abstract

Technology's impact on nursing is undeniable. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) enhance data management and patient engagement. Telehealth bridges geographical divides, extending care accessibility. Wearable technology enables continuous monitoring, empowering patients, and promoting early intervention for chronic conditions. Medication administration technologies reduce errors and improve patient safety. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and decision support systems provide data-driven insights, supporting clinical decision-making. As the nursing profession adapts to these innovations, it's crucial to maintain a balance between technology and the human touch, ensuring the heart of nursing—compassionate, patient-centered care—remains intact. This digital transformation promises to revolutionize healthcare, offering more personalized, efficient, and accessible patient care.
