Abstract: Technology is changing the world at warp speed and nowhere is this clearer than in health care
settings. In an increasingly crowded world, people rightly expect health care to meet their needs quickly and,
where possible, tailored to their needs. Technology helps to deliver these elements, putting the power back in
the hands of the patient. Health care is growing increasingly complex, and most clinical research focuses on
new approaches to diagnosis and treatment. In contrast, relatively little effort has been targeted at the
perfection of operational systems, which are partly responsible for the well-documented problems with medical
safety. If medicine is to achieve major gains in quality, it must be transformed, and information technology will
play a key part, especially with respect to safety. Technological innovation in health care is an important driver
of cost growth. Doctors, nurses, and patients often embrace new modes of treatment before their merits and
weaknesses are fully understood. These technologies can lead to increases in costs, either because they are
simply more expensive than previous treatments or because their introduction leads to an expansion in the types
and numbers of patients treated. For all health care practitioners delivering health care services, the changes in
our ageing population are presenting challenges, but also creating new opportunities for transforming patient
care. The role of technology in delivering cost-effective solutions through technology and e-Health services has
been encouraged and health groups have been urged to identify and evaluate suitable e-Health solutions as part
of an overall strategy for developing quality care services.

Introduction
The use of technology in nursing is too earlier, in fact nurses have become capable of utilizing and
familiarizing complex technology into caring nursing practice for years, at least since the time of Florence
Nightingale in the United Kingdom and even past, when Jeanne Mance (1606-1673) founded the first hospital in
Montreal, Canada in 1642. Various procedures of machinery such as ventilators and physiological monitors
were first used in intensive and critical care settings, and are now presently used in adapting form in less acute
areas, even in home care [1].
1.1. eHealth services
The use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for health, referred to as eHealth
represents a means to support health care delivery. These technologies change how nurses plan, deliver,
document, and review clinical care; this will only continue as technology advances. The process whereby nurses
receive and review diagnostic information, make clinical decisions, communicate and socialize with patients and
their relatives, and implement clinical interventions will be fundamentally modified with further integration of
ICTs into nursing practice [2].

There are many different forms that eHealth can take. It can involve: A telephone consultation between
patient and a health care provider to triage symptoms, deliver instruction, monitor vital signs and provide
guidance on the use of medication telephone or text on health promotion advice and management or
appointment reminders patient-submitted health information using a mobile device for example, a mobile phone
or hand-held computer applications resulting in A referral or consultation appointment a remote consultation
between a patient and doctor using video conferencing patient started interaction with practitioners local internet
based support group with a chat room, blog or social network for sharing information with other users [3].
1.2. Technology in nursing education
Working with trajectories: The role of digital technology in higher education teaching and learning
over the near term. Working with trajectories is an admission that we cannot predict the unexpected factors and
developments that might affect the trajectory, quickening it or maybe derailing the trajectory entirely. Digital
technology is the very fabric of nearly everything associated with teaching and learning. A core trajectory of
digital technology in higher education is the shift away from thinking of it as Information Technology (IT)
infrastructure and toward conceiving it as a digital learning engagement environment [4].
1.3. Technology and its Impact on Nursing Education
Nursing educators have to prepare clinicians to promote health and increase wellbeing, but the basics
of nursing education need to be redesigned in many countries as technology, science, and the demands of the
public for effective and responsive health care, become more complex. In some countries and regions nursing
curricula are outdated, not preparing nurses for further practice. The technology has many benefits, but there are
huge gaps in technology access and training in nurse education and health settings, and challenges regarding the
nature, cost, and high turnover of technology used in teaching-learning spheres. Other challenges include
understandings about how technology influences on the well being of patients, clinicians, learners, and
educators. Technological innovation and improved globalization are closely interlinked, and nursing education
has to respond in a measured and carefully executed way, if it is to be relevant [5].
1.4. The technological challenges for nursing education
With the health care system in a state of flux, nursing education faces many challenges. Nursing faculty
must design a dynamic curriculum that deals with the explosion of information, the complexity of the healthcare
system, and optimal patient outcomes while addressing the diverse expectations of learners. Inclusion of
information management and interactive technology facilitates learner engagement, promoting critical thinking
and improving clinical judgment. Fundamental to inclusion of technology in nursing education is information
literacy and informatics. To prepare nurses for the challenge of the complex, dynamic healthcare environment,
the faculty envisioned curricula infused with technological innovations. Multiple interactive technologies such
as personal response systems (PRS), human patient simulation (HPS) personal digital assistants, web
conferencing, podcasting, and course management systems were integrated within the curriculum [6].
II. The Impact of Emerging Technology on Nursing Care
There are many emerging technologies that will change the practice of nursing in the coming decade.
2.1 Genetics and Genomics
The American Cancer Society (2011) suggests that genetic testing is already being used for many
reasons. Future applications of genetics and genomics will transform the health care system even further. Carroll
(2011) suggests that by the year 2020 the health care system will have transitioned from one which fixed people
after they were sick with one of preventive, diagnostic, genomic-based medicine where patients will be treated
for conditions we know they are likely to develop. Despite these concerns, there is no doubt that Geno-typing
and genetic sequencing will continue to significantly improve diagnostic and Interventional medicine. Gene
therapy is expected to make significant inroads in curing cancer and preventing birth defects within the next two
decades [7].
2.2 3-Dimensional (3D) Printing
Bioprinters, using a "bio-ink" made of living cell mixtures can build a 3D structure of cells, layer by
layer, to form human tissue and eventually human organs for replacement [8]. Healthcare is just beginning to
explore the limits of this technology. There are limits to the materials which can be used for printing and
materials science is a laggard in 3D printing [9].

Fig 1:Typical 3-Dimensional Printing [10].
2.3 Robotics
Robotics can provide improved diagnostic abilities; a less invasive and more comfortable experience
for the patient; and the ability to do smaller and more precise interventions. In addition, robots can be used as
adjunct care providers for some physical and mental health care provision [11].
Fig 2: Robotic [12].
2.4 Less Invasive and More Accurate Tools for Diagnosis There are several different types of less invasive meters being developed for monitoring blood glucose. One of
these includes a sort of nano-tattoo, and Symphony® CGM System. It was developed by a medical device
company with expertise in advanced skin permeation technology.

2.5 Biometrics
Biometrics is the automated recognition of individuals based on their behavioral and biological characteristics. It
is a tool for establishing confidence that one is dealing with individuals who are already known (or not known)
and consequently that they belong to a group with certain rights (or to a group to be denied certain privileges)
[14].
2.6 Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR)
Healthcare providers have access to critical patient information from multiple providers, literally 24 hours a day,
7 days a week, allowing for better coordinated care [15].
2.7 Computerized Physician/Provider Order; Entry (CPOE) and Clinical Decision Support
CPOE and clinical decision support fundamentally change the ordering process resulting in lower costs, reduced
medical errors, and more interventions based on evidence and best practices [15].
2.8 Nursing Skill Sets Needed to Appropriately Respond to Emerging Technologies
- Being able to use technology to facilitate mobility, communication, and relationships
- Having expertise in knowledge, information, acquisition, and distribution
- Understanding and using genomics in nursing [15].
III. Impact of technology on nursing practice
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) embody all digital technologies that support the electronic
capture, storage, processing, and exchange of information in order to promote health, prevent illness, treat
disease, manage chronic illness, and so on. In the health sector ICTs refers to a set of projects or services that
allow for remote nursing care (Tele-health), interdisciplinary clinical support, as well as knowledge transfer
[16].
IV. Technologies that changed nursing forever
4.1 Electronic IV monitors
Drip detects sensor AS introtek‟s optical technology, non-invasive designed sensor measures the instantaneous
drip rate by accurately outputting a pulse for each drop of liquid, the drip detects sensor is designed to be
utilized as a technique for monitoring media flow rate during patient Iv infusion. The sensor can be used to
enhance and improve processes in the following applications.
IV infusion administration system
Liquid dispensing
Pharmaceutical manufacturing

4.2 The Sphygmomanometer
The accurate measurement and control of blood pressure are key elements in the prevention of
cardiovascular disease and stroke. Mercury Sphygmomanometers, first developed over 100 years ago and
largely unchanged since, are used in both hospital and ambulatory settings. They have been considered the gold
standard‟ blood pressure measuring devices from which treatment guidelines are developed [19].
Fig 5: BP 126/70 mmHg as result of electronic sphygmomanometer [20]
4.3 Information management
The health information management (HIM) profession is dedicated to the effective management of the
patient information and health care data needed to deliver quality treatment and care to the public. The basic
duties of the him professional continue to evolve over time, as patient records become less paper-based and
increasingly electronic. HIM professionals play a critical role in the successful implementation of electronic
health records and ensure that providers, healthcare organizations and patients have access to the right health
information when and where it is needed while maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality and security
[21].
4.4 The portable defibrillator
Electrical defibrillation is the only effective therapy for cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation
or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Scientific evidence to sup‐ port early defibrillation is overwhelming, being
delayed from collapse to delivery of the first shock the single most important determinant of survival. If
defibrillation is delivered promptly, survival rates as high as 75% have been reported. The chance of a favorable
outcome decline at a rate of about 10% for each minute cardiac defibrillation is delayed [22].
Fig 6: Portable defibrillator [23]
4.5 Readily accessible base of information
A common thread woven through the Testing Experience and Functional Tools (TEFT) demonstration
objectives is the use of technology to enhance person-centered health care. The health care industry has
experienced rapid expansion in the use of electronic health records (EHRs), personal health records (PHRs) and
other health information technology (HIT). This growth has created a culture that encourages everyone in the
care continuum to be involved with individual decision-making processes. HIT enables individuals and their
caregiver(s) to take an active role in the management of their care. The federal government has been a key
driver in the movement toward person centered care, and that movement continues to gain momentum.
Ultimately, these health care advances drive improvements in the individual‟s experience and quality of care
and reduced service fees [24].

4.6 The sonogram/ultrasound
As nurses, midwives, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants take on more responsibility in
providing first-line care to women, the need to incorporate sophisticated technology as an adjunct to clinical
assessment has become greater. These same clinicians are often the first to provide bedside assessment of
maternal and fetal conditions. In the case of an advanced nurse practitioner (ANP), he or she may be the only
clinician evaluating and treating a woman from adolescence through the post-menopausal years. As a result
gaining knowledge and acquiring skill with advanced technologies such as sonography has become paramount
[25].
Fig 7: Ultrasound Machine [26]
4.7 Local wireless telephone networks
Computer-aided Design (ALCAD) is a nursing communication and management system using IP
technology that can be used for both wired and wireless connections. The features of this system make it ideal
for use in hospitals, homes, supervised apartments and day centers. The room post controls the push buttons,
lights, and sensors in a room; it sends alarms and establishes communication with the nursing staff. It is a
versatile and flexible element that allows for future adaptations and extensions [27].
4.8 Hands-free communication devices
Hands free communication devices (HFCDs) are an information and communication technology
comprised of wearable “badges” and server-based software. The technology is distinguishable by three traits: 1.
It utilizes Voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and wireless local area networks (WLANs), 2. The
communication devices are wearable, and 3. The technology possesses voice control capability. HFCDs are
increasingly used in clinical care settings, particularly among nursing staff [28].
4.9 Communications options
Communication can be defined as a process during which information is shared through the exchange
of verbal and non-verbal messages, and where people create a relationship by interacting with each other
Communication is integral to the nurse-patient relationship and is one of the six fundamental values of nursing
identified in the government‟s strategy to deliver high-quality, compassionate care for patients department of
health. The policy document compassion in practice states that communication is central to successful, caring
relationships and to effective team working [29].
4.10 Patient remote monitoring
Remote monitoring is extremely important and probably in the forefront of mobile technologies now
because of its potential importance in decreasing hospital readmission rates, which are a big headline because
they are responsible for penalties that the centers for Medicare and Medicaid services (CMS) is now imposing
on hospitals that have readmissions within 30 days for certain diagnoses. Whether the goal is preventing
readmissions or maintaining medical stability among the chronically ill ,what remote monitoring does is it keeps
the patient more in touch with the physician over a period of time outside of the acute-care setting, such that you
don‟t have to wait for disasters to happen” to bring the deteriorating condition to a provider‟s attention [30].

4.11 RFID technologies
Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is having a major impact on the health care industry.
By attaching radio frequency tags to different entities people and objects , ) RFID) technology can provide
identification, tracking, location, security and other capabilities. RFID technology can be used to reduce medical
mistakes, improve patient safety and enhance the quality of medical service in hospitals. RFID is now
generating significant interest in the marketplace because of its robust application capabilities. Thus, RFID
systems are becoming popular in logistics operations, inventory and materials management, and industrial
automation, replacing optical identification technologies such as bar codes. But RFID technology can provide a
number of benefits to the healthcare industry, improving overall safety and operational efficiency because it
operates without line-of-sight while providing read/write capabilities [32].
4.12 Compact, portable medical devices
As medical devices have become more compact and portable, it has become possible to conduct a
variety of medical treatments in the home. Home use devices can provide significant benefits to care recipients.
Quality-of-life improvements, home health care offers more comfort and convenience to care recipients than
hospital-based care. Technological advancements have allowed care recipients to remain ambulatory and
independent. For example, tele-medicine and wireless monitoring devices have made it possible for healthcare
providers to observe and communicate with home care recipients remotely. Advances in robotics and electronics
have allowed for more automated delivery of care, with less need for the intervention of a medical professional.
Cost savings, the use of medical devices in the home can also generate a cost savings for care recipients and the
health care system [33].
4.13 Learning technologies
Student access to technology is no longer a privilege: it is a prerequisite for full participation in high-
quality education opportunities. Increasingly, important learning resources used by students and teachers are
digital, making access to the internet as basic as access to a library. Technology access also enables students to
find and enroll in educational opportunities, such as summer enrichment programs and college scholarship
programs, and is increasingly fundamental for participation in college itself. Modern technology tools that
enable design, media production, self-expression, research, analysis, communication, collaboration, and
computer programming are commonplace in various professions and disciplines, and facility with these tools is
an essential part of becoming ready for college and careers. Interacting with digital learning environments that
support the development of deeper learning skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, and inquiry is also
crucial. Furthermore, goals for improved educational achievement and increased participation in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning and careers will not be reached without the integral
use of technology [34].

4.14 Video conferencing
In a healthcare environment that is technology oriented, providers and patients are recognizing the
benefits of video conferencing. With the constant pressure to increase the quality of patient care and the desire
to provide new services, while at the same time controlling costs, healthcare providers are leveraging the power
of video networks to link patients, specialists, and clinicians, thus extending the reach of healthcare. Tele-
medicine systems bring medical expertise to patients and providers, regardless of location. The use of tele-
medicine increases revenues for health care facilities by allowing hospitals to tap the expertise of individuals
across the country or the globe. Patients get the care they need, regardless of their location, and often faster and
at a reduced cost. [36].
V. Nursing and implementation of modern technology
The application of modern technologies is an essential factor required for the advancement of nursing.
Health care itself and continuous monitoring of patients requires use of the information-communication system.
However, the information -communication system is essential for efficient implementation of nursing
documentation and effective providing of health care. Information technology in health care involves the
processing and application of information and easier access to the patient‟s history of care. Data entry, data
conversion into useful information, and the application of data affecting the health care system are the factors
included in this process. Nurses who provide direct health care are among other specialists, registered nurses
with advanced practice, coordinators of care, visiting nurses, and health promoters and so on. In short, they are
everywhere where nurses work [37].
VI. Informatics and technology in professional nursing practice
Technology has increased rapidly over the past four decades, and has become an integral part of health
care. Nurses have participated in the purchase, design, and implementation of information technology in health
care. The knowledge required for the field of nursing informatics has expanded and it is now a recognized
specialty in the profession. Nursing informatics are considered both a science and a system, including process
and data. The term “nursing informatics” was initially seen in literature in the 1980s, including a definition of
combining nursing, information, and computer sciences for managing and processing data into knowledge for
using in nursing practice [38]. Since the digitization of nursing records began in the late 1980s, a vast amount of
data has been accumulated in electronic nursing records (ENR) systems, and there has been a heightened interest
in collecting, sharing, and reusing patient information generated during nursing care. To effectively share and
reuse data of ENR systems, ensuring semantic interoperability is a key factor. To ensure full semantic
interoperability, one approach is to document nursing records using a data model, such as a detailed clinical
model (DCM) [39]. As the use of information technology in healthcare increases, the demand for healthcare
professionals equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills for utilizing and managing information also
increases. The Institute of Medicine specified the use of information technology as one of the top five abilities
that healthcare professionals needed, and also emphasized the importance of information technology in ensuring
patient safety and the quality of healthcare. Nurses are no exception to this. The multidisciplinary field that uses
health information technology to improve health care is called health informatics. Nursing informatics is a sub-
component of health informatics pertaining to nurses and nursing care. The increasing use of information and
communications technology (ICT) and Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) at the point of care has led to a
consensus that nurses need to understand technology, as well as there is a greater demand for nursing
informatics education [40].

6.1 . Electronic Nursing Record System
The benefits of electronic nursing record (ENR) systems include reduced errors, improved quality of care, and
lowered cost. These benefits can be maximized by using a standard nursing terminology, which improves data
quality, data sharing, and decision support [41].
6.2. Barriers to information access
Workload
Access to computers
Technical support
Information technology knowledge
Age
Lack of training
Consultation;
Geographic location
Level of employment
Sector of employment
Recognition of the value of information technology in nursing [42].
6.3 . Nurses resisting information technology
Resistance in the workplace, by nurses, has not been extensively studied from a sociological
perspective. In this paper, nurses‟ resistance to the implementation and use of computer systems is described
and analyzed, on the basis of semi structured interviews with 31 nurses in three UK NHS hospitals. While the
resistance was not „successful‟, in that it did not prevent the implementation of the systems, it nonetheless
persisted. Resistance took a wide variety of forms, including attempts to minimize or „put off‟ use of the
systems, and extensive criticism of the systems, though outright refusal to use them was very rare. Resistance
was as much about the ideas and ways of working that the systems embodied as it was about the actual
technology being used. The patterns of resistance can best be summed up by the phrase 'resistive compliance'
[43].
6.4. Technology can reduce errors Effect of Bar-Code Technology on the Safety of Medication Administration: Bar code medication
administration (BCMA) systems (also referred to as bar code enabled point of care) (BPOC) technology, is now
adopted by the majority (65.5%) of American hospitals to allow patient identity verification and electronic
checking of orders. The nurse scans a bar code on their identification tag, the patient‟s wristband, and the
medication to be administered. The BCMA is believed to enable the verification of the 5 rights of medication
management (and so prevent wrong-patient, wrong-dose, wrong-time, wrong-drug and wrong-route errors). The
system also ensures accurate and complete documentation of the medication administration process. The BCMA
implementation requires all medication packaging to contain bar codes that can be read by BCMA scanners and
all ordered medications to be listed in an eMAR [44].
6.5 Mobile technology use for continuing professional development in nursing profession
The rapid growth of health technology and informatics, mobile learning platforms and software
applications in healthcare has enabled an increased and diverse range of additional opportunities for learning
and teaching in the workplace than previously available, with implications at the individual and systems levels
in the planning and delivery of care and for supporting lifelong learning in healthcare settings [45].
VII. Conclusion
The use of technologies in nursing is not recent, these technologies change how nurses plan, deliver,
document, and review clinical care; this will only continue as technology advances. The technology has many
benefits, but there are huge gaps in technology access and training in nurse education and health settings, and
challenges regarding the nature, cost, and high turnover of technology used in teaching-learning spheres. To
prepare nurses for the challenge of the complex, dynamic healthcare environment, the faculty envisioned
curricula infused with technological innovations.
