The prices of these technology advances have increased from a couple of hundred thousands of dollars to multi-million dollar pieces of equipments. In this rough economy, it is challenging to keep up with these types of technologies. It puts a financial strain on the healthcare institution, but many times they have proved to be worth the cost. So I believe as healthcare administrators, we must find a balance for the need, use, and maintenance of technology used in the healthcare
These revisions have streamlined the performances, the standards of care for patients and eliminated certain requirements. Accuracy of patient identification by using two patient identifiers is to facilitate health care providers in patient identification. They accomplish this by asking name and date of birth ensuring they have the right patient. Improvement of communication to patients by expediting test results can enable them in serious health care decisions.

Telemedicine allows the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve patients’ health status (ATA, 2011). Patient provider portal is an emerging information technology tool which allows the client to access personal health data. This helps the clients to be increasingly involved in their own care, enhances patient provider communication, improves clinical outcomes, access to care, and reduces the inequality in distribution of care due to geographic reasons.

Impact of Technology on Nursing Student’s name Institutional affiliation Impact of Technology on Nursing Technology is the use of science in Industries in order to make work easier. Nursing is a profession where a person takes care of patients in order to optimize their health and abilities. It also involves the prevention of illness and promotion of health. Technology with time has been incorporated into nursing, which has made the nursing practice easier and efficient for both nurses and patients. This essay will address the impact of technology on nursing.
It helps to meet both quality and cost effective measures by patients. (Leatherman, 2013) United health care effectively communicates the performance results and feedback to the customers that provides the detailed process of decision making abilities. United Health care provides the important guidelines of preventing health issues at an initial stage which is important in healthy life style. It helps to make the patients healthy.

It can be used concurrently and is updated continuously. EHR can provide medical alerts and reminders, such as abnormal lab results. The EHR also allows specialty groups to have customized screens, which makes it more flexible. It can also be used to improve risk management outcomes. Finally, it will provide more accurate billing information and it will allow providers to submit their claims electronically.
With this knowledge I plan to work toward a more cost effective and delivery system with healthcare provided to the patient population. In building a stronger healthcare system it will not only be profitable, but will also provide better care to all the patient population. As a registered nurse (RN), I have learned that I need to stay flexible and be able to adjust and adapt to the constant change that comes along in my profession. Also as an RN, I look at the healthcare profession as a revolving door, which constantly spins out new concepts, methods, and approaches. I think this will help prepare me for a management position in my field because it is imperative for a manager in this profession to have the ability to adapt, adjust and welcome new ideas and concepts directed to him or her.
The trust and respect between the patient and nurse will increase. With increased trust comes improved conversation, the patient may tell her/him more things that may be useful in developing a faster treatment for the patient. AccorConfidentiality protects private patient information once it has been disclosed in a health care setting. (Perry, Hall, 2013, p.780). It is the duty of the nurses to help protect patients’ right to confidentiality in an organization.
According to that we can investigate the problem and take action to resolve it. When we become closer to the patient, we can get more information about them, and they will trust us more. Then it will be easier for nurses to provide better care. From my experiences, I can say we have to respond as quickly as we can to solve the problem, otherwise it becomes worse and harder to deal with. We have to prioritize the treatment for the patient according to his or her condition.
The goal of KM is to improve organizational performance by enabling individuals to capture, share and apply their collective knowledge to make optimal 'decisions in real time'... the new main goals of health care organizations are safety, efficiency and effectiveness, centrality of the patient, continuity of care, care quality and access equity. As a consequence, medical KM and health care process management are crucial to achieve the desired quality” [7]. Peter Szolovits, one of Stefanelli's co-panelists, says “AI in medicine is viewed today much less as a separate field and more as an essential component of biomedical informatics and one of the methodologies that can help solve problems in health care” [7]. Data is the lifeblood of
