Abstract
Nurses face challenges in delivering safe, high-quality care while maintaining efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Technology can help reduce healthcare errors and missed care. Electronic nursing care reminders can reduce missed care instances, enhancing clinical reasoning and quality.The study focused on exploring nurses' views on how technology affects patient care in nursing practice. A survey was conducted with a group of nurses to collect information on different aspects of technology-enhanced patient care. The survey contained inquiries regarding patient safety, efficiency of workflow, promptness of care delivery, and nurses' general encounters with technology in healthcare environments. In order to assess the results and comprehend nurses' attitudes toward the use of technology in patient care, mean values, standard deviations, significance, and answer arrangement were examined. The study delves into the influence of technology on patient care in nursing practice. The survey results indicate a favorable perception of technology's influence on patient care, emphasizing its role in enhancing communication, patient outcomes, operational efficiency, and care delivery. Nevertheless, the research also points out difficulties in adapting to new technology, like the intricacy of certain technologies and the necessity for proper training. The study emphasizes the significance of technology in minimizing errors, improving patient safety, and fostering communication. Healthcare businesses should consider investing in training and development programs to maximize the use of technology. Further research is required to explore the long-term effects of technology on patient care and nurse outcomes.
