Can automation save the nurse?

Pamela Cipriano, PhD, RN, FAAN and Chair of the American Academy of Nursing Workforce Commission on Technology in Nursing,  describes the current state of automation  in nursing practice.   Nurses  in all venues are eager to embrace technology to improve their work environment, eliminate waste in their work, and to decrease errors.  Pam also describes the data collection process - Technology Drill Down (TD2) -  used in this study to collect data  and learn what technology nurses find essential to support improved patient care delivery.

It is good that nowadays the hospital setting are using computers to make the work of a nurse to become easy. Because in hospital, the nurses are the one who works a lot on paper works. I agree that automation can save the nurse because the nurse can have more time of taking care of patient bedside and have more time spending to the patient rather than paper works.
