Is Technology Improving Nursing Care?

According to the article I have read,, the use of information and communication technology in nursing is said to be revolutionizing the way nurses interact with the patients, deliver care, and communicate with colleagues. Over 1,000 delegates attending the Canadian Nurses Association said that equipment such as computer terminals on hospital units, laptops for community health nurses and personal digital assistants for charting at the bedside are as necessary as stethoscopes for health-care providers to do their jobs. They access online libraries and databases of clinical practice guidelines in their workplaces and interact with their peers in discussion groups over the Internet to serve as help to other people who are interested in learning.

Reaction:
After reading the article, it is already quite obvious that Technology is something that we needed for us to enhance our practice especially when it comes to our profession. It can help us develop our knowledge about informations and understand situations that we do not easily encounter at the area. On my opinion, Technology being applied to nursing is a big help and a big contribution to our learnings. How about you? What do you think?
