Human error is one of the primary concerns for hospitals and medical clinics. These facilities are always seeking ways to reduce incidences of human error and improve the level and quality of patient care. Fortunately, new developments in nursing technology continue to improve the field of nursing. This new nursing technology simplifies the job of nurses and allows them to serve patients with greater speed and accuracy.
Robotic technology is one way that advancements in nursing technology are revolutionizing patient care. The IntelliFill i.v. robot, by ForHealth Technologies Inc., provides benefits for both nurses and patients. Using automated i.v. medication preparation and a sterile interior, the IntelliFill i.v. robot helps to maximize patient safety by reducing medication mistakes and contamination due to human error. The IntelliFill i.v. is accurate but easy to use. Nurses are able to save time because of its simple storing and assembly system. The IntelliFill i.v. also reduces the number of doses that nurses are required to prepare.
Another advancement in nursing technology is bar code technology. This technology enables nurses to scan medication bar codes electronically before administering them to patients. When used in lieu of verbal or written communication regarding medication, errors that result from medications with similar names are significantly reduced.
New nursing technology will soon also benefit patients outside of medical facilities. Advanced nurse training technology is being developed and will be in nursing schools to help prepare nursing students for the rigors of the nursing field. Virtual ER, the creation of registered nurses John Miller and David Bodily, is a virtual 3D training program designed to simulate nursing situations. Such programs can help nursing students acquire interactive training that will help them in real world situations.
New nursing technology continues to emerge. In order to effectively utilize this technology, nurses must stay abreast of new technological developments. Many facilities purchase advanced equipment to provide on-the-job training for their nurses. In addition, many nursing programs also offer nursing technology courses.
Nurses who need to brush up their technology skills are encouraged to take continuing education courses to learn how to effectively operate the latest technology.
