Project Identifies Ways Technology Can Improve Nursing Practice
The American Academy of Nursing's Workforce Commission has identified ways that technology can make nursing practice more efficient and safe, based on case studies in 25 hospitals and health systems. The AHA’s American Organization of Nurse Executives subsidiary participated in the Technology Targets Project [click this link to watch the video], which was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.The project identified more than 800 processes that could be improved to give nurses more time with patients and more than 1,200 potential technology solutions in the areas of medication management, communication, purchasing and patient identification. “The work represents significant insight into how we can leverage technology in the redesign of patient care delivery,” said AONE CEO Pamela Thompson. The study findings were released at a Nov. 7 news briefing in Washington.
