In addition to that, when asked to say one component of their job that they would improve if they could (this does not include improving the staff-patient ratio), almost 36 percent of nurses said “Automatic notification of important patient issues,” while thirty three percent selected “improve Interdisciplinary communications.” Popular usage of proven technology to prevent medication errors still remains remarkably low, with nurses confessing that they still perform in a paper world, for most of the time(McKesson, 2005)..
In opposition to common reports that frontline nurses are antipathetic to using new technologies, a large group of nurses who maintained their hospitals are safer now than they were a few years ago gave credit to technology as a reason for that advancement(McKesson, 2005). This was followed by support for examining errors and finding ways to avoid them in the future. Even nurses with less awareness of clinical systems acknowledge the significance of technology to augment patient safety, and they were aware of the technologies that could aid them provide safer care more reliably and efficiently.
