The Impact of Healthcare Technology on Improving the Quality of Nursing Services in Hospitals

Abstract

The tasks of nursing staff in hospitals have been increasing and becoming increasingly complex in recent decades, due to the increase in older and chronic patients, and the acuity of the pathology in hospital admissions. This has led to an increase in nursing workloads, and various studies support this. This issue has a negative impact on the quality of services provided in the hospital. Today, the use of new technologies has changed the way we live and work, which has turned into a competitive advantage. Specifically, in the field of public health, advances in technology have increased life expectancy and the capacity for clinical and therapeutic intervention in cases that previously had no possibility of effective treatment. These technologies should improve working conditions, optimize processes, reduce requests and meetings, and finally, bring quality and security to patient care.
