Nursing Practice? Billeto R. McGee Grantham University CA499 – Professional Strategies
February 16, 2019 1 TECHNOLOGY IN NURSING 2 What is the Impact of Technology in
Nursing Practice? Introduction In the modern world, technology has become the tool
towards effective service delivery and production of goods. While technology may seem to
have initiated and tremendously change the nursing practice, it is significant to research on
the impacts in this field thoroughly. In the recent few decades, some health practitioners

2. had some negative views towards the implementation of Electronic Health Records.
However, it is apparent that many organizations have embraced the technology, mainly
because of the benefits the facilities are able to enjoy with the implementation of the
Electronic Health Registers. It is apparent that nursing practice is somewhat the backbone
of the health facilities from a broader perspective. Therefore, any improvement on the
nursing practice dramatically improves the overall service delivery and image of the health
facility. In nursing practice, technology has enhanced communication, nurse education, and
research. Problem Statement Most of the sectors and professionals across the world are
leveraging on technology for cost-cutting, efficiency and overall performance among other
benefits. It is important to note that the use of technology is capable of drastically reducing
the cost of providing healthcare and improving the services by the nurse practitioners. How
are the nurse practitioners leveraging technology? TECHNOLOGY IN NURSING 3 Purpose of
the study The primary purpose of this study is to examine the various ways the technology
has changed the nurse practice. To establish this, this study examines the different areas
that the nurse practitioners are engaging technology in their endeavors to providing high
quality and timely healthcare to eradicate the health challenges facing the modern society
(Elgin & Bergero, 2015). As such, this research proposal purposes to determine the help of
various technological advancements towards assisting the nurse practitioners including the
implementation of the Electronic Health Records, use of internet in research, big data and
cloud computing for easy access of records and communication between the nurses and
patients. Research question For the realization of the above-stated purpose, this research
proposal responds to the question of what are the impacts of technology in nursing practice.
It is notable that nurse practitioners like other professionals are using technology. In this
regard, this research proposal seeks to identify the various benefits technology has
influenced in nurse practice or why the nurse practitioners should continue using
technology? The significance of the Study The study on the impacts of technology in the
nurse practice field is very significant and in different ways. Impact of Technology in
Nursing Practice PaperFirstly, this study shall determine the importance of leveraging
technology in nurse practice towards minimizing or eradicating the common problem of
burnouts among the nurse practitioners. It is also important to note that the study shall
examine the various changes and benefits that the different technological improvements
such as the Electronic Health Records TECHNOLOGY IN NURSING 4 have influenced in the
nurse practice (Lavin, Harper & Barr, 2015). For instance, recent research finds that the use
of EHRs has drastically reduced the cost of running healthcare facilities. Of importance, the
Electronic health records have enabled ease of access of the patient records by the nurses.
The latter shows that the nurses are less likely to have the burnouts with the
implementation of the EHRs. Traditionally, the nurses used to peruse through the manual
documents to determine the patients’ records regardless of the length of the queues. With
the EHRs, nurses are able to access the full details of the patients within seconds (Weaver,
Delaney, Weber & Carr, 2016). Therefore, the technology that has brought HER has greatly
benefited the nurses in record keeping a situation that influences efficiency in health care
facilities thus promoting the image of facilities while ensuring the good health of the
communities they serve. As observed, EHRs enables the nurse practitioners to meet their

3. objectives at a lower cost and using less energy. In fact, the systems allows the nurse
practitioners to serve more clients within a limited time (Piscotty, Kalisch &
Gracey?Thomas, 2015). However, as nurses are able to serve more clients, they need more
storage space for the storage of the increasing number of the patients’ data. This study will
also help to determine what procedures or technological strategies are the nurse
practitioners employing to improve storage facilities to avoid system downtimes and
eventual failures of the entire system. From this perspective, this research proposal
endeavors to establish the extent to which the nurse practitioners are leveraging cloud
computing to improve the storage of the patient’s data. The increased data stored provides
a pool of information that nurse practitioners can use in their research to develop other
interventions for different health problems. TECHNOLOGY IN NURSING 5 Conclusion This
study proposal determines that the use of technology in the health care sector has great
impacts on the nurse practice. Notably, the technology has influenced the proper and easier
method of record keeping that permits improved service the people thus improved health
in the community. Additionally, the technology has enhanced communication among the
nurse practitioners and physicians for efficiency. Finally, the technology has greatly
influenced research for the realization of different intervention strategies through the big
data. TECHNOLOGY IN NURSING 6 References Elgin, K. H., & Bergero, C. (2015). Technology

mHealth in education, research as well as nursing practice. Also, the report purposes to
illustrate the ongoing mHealth program at the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing.
The articles find that mHealth has played a significant role in enhancing nursing practice in
offering health care to clients in this era of information technology. The authors also claim
that the Mobile Health is a rapidly developing field that is continuously providing patient
education, increase patient safety, enhance treatment and prevent illnesses. Impact of
Technology in Nursing Practice PaperThis technology is not beneficial to patient alone but
enhances communication between healthcare practitioners situated close and far distances
geographically. This source is different from others because it majors on one aspect
(mHealth or mobile health) of healthcare technology as opposed to the other sources that
discusses IT as a whole. This source will be helpful to my research because it provides

between bedside nursing and modern technology. The author claims that health technology
makes nurse practitioners to incorporate and master a vast range of devices, tools, and
methods of monitoring patient status. Also, the findings indicate that the increasing amount
of open innovation has influenced bedside nurses. The connection between modern
technology and bedside nursing is desirable. This source has similarity with other sources
that I will use in the ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY TECHNOLOGY IN NURSING 3 sense that
they have considered technology to have a positive relationship with bedside nursing. This
source will help me in my research because I will draw various examples of how
technologies work in nursing to my own research. As a matter of fact, I will require a lot of
information regarding the positive and negative impacts of using modern technology in
bedside nursing in completing my research paper. Therefore, I deem this source to be
significant and relevant to my research topic. Huston, C. (2013). The impact of emerging
technology on nursing care: warp speed ahead. The Online Journal of Issues in Nursing,
18(2). In this publication, the author presents seven emerging technologies that are thought
to alter the nurse practices. It also discusses the skills sets that nurse practitioners will need
and four challenges leadership in healthcare setting will face in incorporating these
innovations. Precisely, the author finds that the emerging technology will have positive
changes in nursing practice and at the same time pose challenges on health care facilities
regarding their implementation. For instance, the leadership of various health care facilities
is expected to encounter the issues of finance shortages bearing in mind that implementing
modern technologies is a process that requires huge investments. Additionally, leaders may
fall short of the necessary knowledge and skills to run these technologies. Remember that
not only leaders will have a problem with these technologies, but patients will have a
problem with understanding how these innovations are being used to diagnose their
diseases. This source will guide me from two fronts; positive and negative impacts of
emerging technologies on nursing practice. Lavin, M. A., Harper, E., & Barr, N. (2015). Health

IN NURSING 4 This publication is a description of the opinions of nurse practitioners shared
by members of the Nursing Practice Committee of the Missouri Nurses Association. This
aspect encourages nurse practitioners to bring issues associated with electronic health
record (EHR) to the table when crucial decisions related to information technology are
made. Furthermore, this aspect motivates nurse practitioners to comply with the code of
ethics whenever they are discharging their duties. Notwithstanding that the technology
stimulates them to go for further training in order to keep themselves updated accordingly
and be able to use the new technological devices and tools. The author finds various issues
related to nursing which included EHR efficiency and medication safety among others. This
article agrees with the others on one thing; technology increases efficiency and
effectiveness in an electronic health record system. I will draw credible and valid
information concerning the relationship between EHR and technology from this source.

technology on nursing practice. Journal of Nursing Scholarship, 47(4), 287-293. This article
is a report on the additional mediation outcomes from descriptive crosssectional research.
It aims at examining if nurse practitioners’ perception of the influence of health care IT on
their work mediates the association amongst electronic nursing care reminder utilization
and missed nursing care. The research deployed a detailed design and MISSCARE Survey as
the methodology. The findings indicate that the perceptions of the influence of health care
IT has an impact on the use of nursing care reminder and the rate of missed nursing care.
This article differs from the rest because it fails to indicate if the effect of IT on missed
nursing care is positive or negative. The results are significant to the improvement of
healthcare technology in my research as I will be able to keep in mind the perception
concerning the effects ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY TECHNOLOGY IN NURSING 5 of IT
within this field. I recommend this source to students pursuing degrees and undergraduates
courses. Weaver, C., Delaney, C., Weber, P., &Carr, R. (2016). Nursing and informatics for the

Publishing. This book conveys details acquired from valid, reliable and credible sources. The
source documents a significant historical change evident in nursing practice, connected to
the emerge of electronic health record (EHR), health policies, as well as national strategies
happening globally. The book uses 30 case studies drawn from reliable and incredible
innovative works occurring across the universe. This source finds a connection between
health care technology and these historical shifts. Although this source is more similar to
the other sources presented in this paper, it differs in its methodology because it uses case
studies contrary to the other sources. I will use this source because it will allow me to have
a comparison across industrials, developing and developed countries. Besides, I consider
this book to be valid and reliable on the bases that writers have integrated examples, data
and statistics from reputable sources to its argument. Moreover, the book is written in
simple English that is easier to be understood by the readers. ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

Strategies March 11, 2019 1 RESEARCH INTERVIEW 2 Research Interview Introduction
Kelly Hancock is a recognized nursing practitioner who is the executive Chief Nursing
Officer of Cleveland Clinic Health System and Cleveland Clinic Main Campus. She has 20
years of experience and manages a team made of 22,000 nurses. As Chief Nursing Officer,

6. Impact of Technology in Nursing Practice PaperHancock supervises nursing practices and is
in charge of the development and education of nurses in fields such as home care and
rehabilitation. Kelly Hancock is qualified to answer my questions because, through her
career, she has witnessed the significant changes occur in nursing practices. Among these
changes is the introduction of technology in medical settings, especially, in nursing practice
at Cleveland Clinic. (Hancock, 2019) Procedure To contact Kelly Hancock, I sent her an
email stating the purpose of this assignment along with the academic program I am
pursuing. In the email, I asked Kelly Hancock for an interview of 15 minutes, specifying the
questions to be discussed. These questions were “What are the challenges generally
encountered in implementing new technologies in nursing?” and “Can robots be used as a
relevant technologies to improve nursing practices?” Results According to Hancock,
implementing technologies in nursing is first and foremost a tricky endeavour because from
one hospital to another, technologies change. Hancock stated technologies intended to
improve nursing practices are tremendous but their variety raises up a problem of
compatibility. While some medical facilities are reluctant to the use of new technologies,
others which have implemented technological changes claim that these technologies do not
properly function, and are mostly outdated. In addition, Hancock emphasized the need for
appropriate technological platforms as an essential aspect preventing RESEARCH
INTERVIEW 3 the expansion of technologies in nursing. Most of the current technologies
developed for nurses require new and modern equipment while several medical facilities
are still equipped with old equipment. According to Hancock, implementing new
technologies in nursing require considerable investments aimed at upgrading the existing
facilities. Hancock argued that the other challenge encountered in implementing new
technologies in nursing regards the intrinsic cost of technology and the efforts required for
its future proper use. Technologies aimed at improving nursing practices are generally
developed to be integrated into a wider general system. According to Hancock, this
integration is essential because in medical facilities, nurses interact with different
professional bodies, and the outputs of their interventions are used by others as inputs.
Thus, these systems must be compatible with the medical setting and properly mastered by
nurses for an effective use. Regarding, effectiveness, Hancock stated that in most cases,
nurses need substantial training sessions which are costly and time-consuming. Hancock
stated that in spite of the outstanding advantages and results associated with the use of
robots in medical facilities, managers must weigh the impact of this specific technology in
their facilities before its implementation. According to Kelly Hancock, robots represent a
technological breakthrough aimed at overcoming the limitations of human practices. In
most cases, their use implies a significant decrease in human interaction. Kelly Hancock
proceeded by stating that, human interaction is at the center of nursing practices and that
introducing robots in nursing requires a deep analysis of the social impact within medical
facilities. In terms of impact, Kelly Hancock highlighted the role of nurses in the
enhancement of patient care. On the other hand, Hancock identified some circumstances in
which the use of robots in nursing could be a real advantage. Hancock stated that in some
countries, there is a real demand for elderly care where the number of nurses is limited.
Hancock gave the example of Japan where nursing shortage triggered the development of

7. “Robear”, the first generation of RESEARCH INTERVIEW 4 nursing-care robots. According to
Hancock, America is also moving towards the introduction of robots in nursing. Conclusion
My research paper aims at identifying the benefits of technology with regard to nursing
practice, in addition to the reasons why practitioners should continue using this technology.
