The Future of Nursing: Integrating Technology into Patient Care

Abstract

This research examines the integration of technology into nursing practice and its implications for patient care. As nursing evolves in response to rapid technological advancements, this study explores how tools such as electronic health records (EHRs), telemedicine, and artificial intelligence (AI) enhance nursing efficiency, patient outcomes, and overall healthcare delivery. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and interviews with nurses, the research identifies both the benefits and challenges of technology adoption in nursing. Key findings reveal that while technology significantly improves patient care and satisfaction, barriers such as system compatibility issues and the need for comprehensive training persist. The study concludes with actionable recommendations for healthcare organizations and policymakers to optimize technology's role in nursing, ensuring it complements a human-centered approach to care.
