Technology is crucial for healthcare delivery. Healthcare technologies range from those directly related to medical care interventions, namely medical technologies, and technologies that support and enhance care delivery and administration. It is the latter sector that healthcare leader and hospital administrator Jane Doe Francis became interested in after attending a seminar in 2008 on emerging technologies.

Digital medical records became Francis's passion, and she has spoken about the importance of creating technology standards for American healthcare institutions. Consistency and reliability, as well as confidentiality and privacy, are key concerns for Francis and her colleagues in hospital administration. Currently, Francis is involved with a massive push toward cloud-based medical technologies that go beyond the electronic medical records database to include connectivity with medical technologies themselves and potential links with patient portals. Francis worked closely with MergeOne to provide the cloud-based service for her institution.
Francis's work echoes similar large-scale solutions designed to improve care delivery. For example, a coalition of healthcare leaders in the state of Massachusetts have teamed with innovators and investors to develop "a cloud to help hospitals house electronic medical...

How a technology is framed can make the
The nursing coursework I have taken so far focuses in particular on the second and fifth competencies, regarding information and technology. Courses like anatomy and physiology are fundamental information-gathering classes that provide a firm foundation for aspiring nurses. Thorough knowledge of the human body, its functions, and its diseases, plus knowledge of medicine are imparted through nursing classes. Furthermore, nursing instructors also demonstrate how technology plays a role in the
The questions ask the patient about the respect he or she received and include such statements as: "My caregivers have responded to me as a whole person, helping to take care of all my needs and concerns," which the patient must rate on a scale of strong agreement to disagreement (Nelson & Watson 2006). Showing such care is of equal importance as giving expedient treatment to the sick. The
Nursing Health Care Informatics "…At the beginning of the 21st century, nursing informatics has become a part of our professional activities…[and has] advanced the field of nursing by bridging the gap from nursing as an art to nursing as a science…" (Saba, 2001, 177).
