The Impact of Health Technology on the Role of Nursing in the Care of Chronic Patients

Abstract

Healthcare systems reflect high growth in chronic care management, motivated by the increase of the aging population, the reduction of mortality by preventing and controlling acute diseases, and the difficulty in changing lifestyle habits over the years. In the framework of managing chronic patients, multidisciplinary teams could assure more qualitative and effective care and offer solutions and approaches to increase the population's trust in primary healthcare services. In this context, a significant evolution is recorded in the type of health technologies developed, which, using modern information technology, increasingly contain the acquisition of physiological monitoring and patient behavior data. The study proposes to approach several research aims, namely the impact of health technology on the role of nursing, technology, and communication between specialists and chronic patients, and technology as support in monitoring established therapeutics.
