5 innovations that will change nursing’s future
We recently highlighted just a few of the many innovations that have changed nursing over the last century. But in real time, right now, healthcare innovations are arising that will further alter the course of nursing’s future. Some of these innovations are already changing how nurses do their jobs. And for some, the full potential of impact is still on the horizon. 1. Interoperability
Although the development and implementation of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) revolutionized the healthcare industry, there’s an even loftier goal afoot: to create a system where useful data can be communicated and exchanged from one system to another. Take the patient who’s on vacation in Florida and comes to the ED for chest pain. What if the nurse can access a health record, view patient history, comorbidities, allergies and medications instantaneously? That is what the IT world calls interoperability.
