introduction<\/p>\n
This assessment will give you the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of how technology can enhance quality and safety standards in nursing. You will prepare an annotated bibliography on technology in nursing. A well-prepared annotated bibliography is a comprehensive commentary on the content of scholarly publications and other sources of evidence about a selected nursing-related technology. A bibliography of this type provides a vehicle for workplace discussion to address gaps in nursing practice and to improve patient care outcomes. As nurses become more accountable in their practice, they are being called upon to expand their role of caregiver and advocate to include fostering research and scholarship to advance nursing practice. An annotated bibliography stimulates innovative thinking to find solutions and approaches to effectively and efficiently address these issues.<\/p>\n
For this assessment, you will write a 4\u20136 page annotated bibliography where you identify peer-
\nreviewed publications that promote the use of one of the technologies presented below that
\nenhance quality and safety standards in nursing.
\nBefore you complete the detailed instructions in the courseroom, <\/p>\n
We would first review one of the technologies
\nbelow.<\/p>\n
\n\uf0b7 Electronic Medication Administration with Barcoding: This technology involves
\nscanning barcodes on patient wristbands and medications to ensure the right patient
\nreceives the right medication at the right dose and time. It significantly reduces
\nmedication errors and enhances patient safety.
\n\uf0b7 Tele-ICU: Tele-ICU uses telemedicine technology to provide critical care expertise to
\nICUs from a remote location. This allows for continuous monitoring of ICU patients and
\nprovides smaller hospitals access to critical care specialists they might not have on-site.<\/p>\n
