Harnessing technology to promote patient-centered care / Cheryl A. Fisher - January 2015. - Nursing Management 46 : 1, page 14-15 .
Nursing leaders are charged with keeping their staff knowledgeable and engaged in evidence-based practice (EBP) in tandem with the rapid rate of medical technology advances. Additionally, increased workloads, patient complexity, and fiscal considerations are competing for attention and adding to daily challenges. Striving to provide safe, quality, data-driven care to patients is a strategic goal of all healthcare organizations. This article will discuss some of the many technical options, skills, and solutions that nurses must utilize to achieve the best outcomes through delivery of the best possible care. Specifically, digital systems that support EBP processes, competencies to enhance practice, and personalized decision support at the point of care. At the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, nurse managers play a critical role in supporting clinical research nurses in EBP and are strong advocates for the use of technology to support patient care.
