IssuesNursing
97% of nurses surveyed chose “improving the work environment” as the
most important strategy to solve the nursing shortage, even more than
increasing salaries.
NurseWeek & AONE Institute for Patient Care Research
and Education 2002
Nurses in the future will view technology in the same light as contemporary
nurses do their stethoscopes, and will use this resource to continue to
provide evidence-based, professional care.
Richards, JA. Nursing in a Digital Age.
Dermatology Nursing. 2001;5:13:365
In a typical 8 hour nursing shift, about half of the caregiver's time is
dedicated to gathering, analyzing, communicating and organizing data
rather than actually providing patient care.
Narendra Kini, M.D. Health Leaders Roundtable on
Strategies for Solving WorkForce Shortages, Feb. 2002
Providers who implement similar technology (BCMA) should “understand
how these systems affect patient care, safety, and nursing practice”
