Advancing Technology in Healthcare
Advancing technology in healthcare has significantly impacted the global healthcare systems. Technology advances such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) are completely transforming global healthcare system. AI integration in healthcare, especially in nursing care, has improved the efficiency and accuracy of nursing care with better patient outcomes based on AI’s ability to support quick data mining and analysis. AI-aided data mining and analysis is also helping identify at-risk populations for particular conditions, support accurate diagnosis of disorders, as well as personalize care decisions and planning (Ronquillo et al., 2021). AI also supports remote patient monitoring technologies such as telehealth and wearables.
As a nurse, I use technology in various ways to advance caring in my practice. For instance, the facility has implemented advanced electronic health records (EHRs), telemedicine systems, and other patient monitoring systems. All of these tech-based systems have been impactful in my nursing practice. Notably, with the technologies, it is easy to access patient information, track care progress, provide personalized data to support care decisions, and, most importantly, allow remote real-time monitoring of patients. This has impacted on my efficiency as a nurse in caring for my patients.
From a personal perspective, practicing nursing in the face of advancing technology has the potential to improve nursing care. According to Ronquillo et al. (2021), AI-integrated systems can greatly improve nursing capabilities by helping visualize patient health trends, fast vast data retrieval and analysis, and acting as decision support systems to provide more responsive evidence-based and personalized patient care in the short- and long-term. Therefore, advancing technology, such as AI, and integrating such technologies in nursing care makes me believe that I will become a better nurse and more caring.
