Healthcare Technology and Nursing Leadership


Progress in technology are affecting the way that most people do their jobs – and nursing is absolutely no different. With innovations in health care devices and software, technological advancements are literally transforming the way that nurses practice, involving everything from how they provide care to patients to how they handle the clinical workflow.




The nursing technology involves an array of systems, devices, and software designed to decrease the amount of time nurses must consume on tasks, for instance, locating and collaborating with other staff members, tracking down equipment, and updating patient charts. Another technology serves to develop efficiency and patient safety by decreasing health care errors and accessing sensitive patient records or preventing unauthorized individuals from entering a facility. In addition to improved efficiency and safety, accuracy, technology also permits nurses to consume more time on direct patient care.

But why should leaders and senior nurse executives promote expertise in IT acquisition, upgrading and evaluation?


Quality measures at the national level depend on health information technologies to provide data gathering, shared information, and analytic capabilities to notify approaches to care that have the potential to achieve better outcomes. As a key member of the quality assurance team, the senior nurse executives and leaders must give the infrastructure to manage and build nursing knowledge and instill accountability for following evidence-based practices.


Some might claim that the acquisition and evaluation of EHI systems are outside the field of a nursing profession and that these decisions are better left to the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) experts employed in healthcare institutions.


Permit the nurses clinicians and to do their clinical work, and allow the healthcare ICT experts to help that work with appropriate and well-designed electronic health record systems.

 User ( nurse leaders, clinicians ) involvement gives several benefits; the improvement of a rich and grounded understanding of the problems, an opportunity to build community capacity, facilitated data collection, the fostering of stakeholder cooperation, the risen likelihood of success, decreased costs to the system.
