Affect Nursing?
1. Monitoring
2. Medications
3. Health Records
4. Beds
5. Reduced Errors
6. Communication
7. Telehealth

8. 1. Monitoring
Portable monitors give nurses the freedom to check
on patients quickly, even when occupied with other
tasks. The devices provide data on vitals, such as
respiratory rates, electrocardiography, and oxygen
levels. Nurses receive an alert if a patient needs
urgent attention, which significantly reduces
response times.

9. Medications
✘ Nurses in most healthcare settings no longer
need to "make rounds" to monitor patients' IVs,
as smart pumps allow for the more accurate and
efficient administration of medication and
fluids. Nurses use this technology to set how
much each patient should receive, while alerts
notify them of low levels, poor patient
reactions, or issues with tubing.

10. Communication
 Today's nurses use team collaboration tools,
instant messaging, and headsets that allow
them to communicate with their colleagues in
real time.
 These tools make coordinating care much
easier, as they reduce the time required to
access test results, along with identifying and
diagnosing illnesses.

more efficient patient handover between

11. Reduced Errors
 Technology considerably reduces the likelihood of
error in logging patient information like allergies
to medications, medical history, and health
conditions and illnesses.
 Apps make the administration of medication
much less confusing or prone to human error.
 This, in turn, improves health outcomes and
reduces hospital re admission rates.
11

12. Beds
 Smart beds allow nurses to monitor patients
weight, movement, and vitals, which can help
prevent bedsores, injuries, and misdiagnoses.
 Technology-enhanced beds also reduce the
amount of time nurses spend on adjusting
equipment and supplies for safety reasons.

13. Health Records
 Through the use of EMRs, nurses and other
medical professionals can quickly access
critical patient information and reduce or
eliminate the need for paperwork.
 EMRs give nurses current data that notifies
them as a patient's condition changes and
whether a patient has allergies to certain
medications
 Transparent NHPI is very effective for
digitalizes the health care services

14. Tele health
 Patients can increasingly access medical
professionals, including nurses, from the
comfort of their homes, thanks to mobile

that medical professionals can best monitor their
conditions and overall health on a regular basis
