Digital Nursing (EPUB)

By Matthew Wynn

Investigating the ways in which digital technology is transforming the roles of nurses and how they deliver care, this book explores how nurses can optimise patient care, enhance clinical decision-making, and improve healthcare outcomes in the information age.

The first half of the book emphasises the importance of nursing theory in guiding nursing practice and decision-making in the context of digital healthcare. Examining how technology is transforming their responsibilities and skillsets, it showcases the opportunities and challenges that nurses encounter in embracing digital tools to optimise patient care. Some of the thorniest challenges relate to ethical considerations, and an international selection of contributors discuss some of the key dilemmas and provide strategies for navigating the ethical dimensions of digital nursing. The second half of the book focuses on three case studies – using social media, wound care, and infection control. These chapters look at how digital technology is transforming specific aspects of nursing practice, providing concrete examples of the impact of technology on patient care and nursing efficiency. The book concludes with a discussion of emerging technologies and their potential implications for nursing practice, patient care, and healthcare delivery.

This text is a valuable resource for students, practitioners, and educators interested in how new technologies are integrated into nursing theory and practice, and the implications for person-centred humanistic care.
