Nowadays, health care organizations have
different types of technologies in place. Since, technology has become involved
in patients' care, health care providers encounter a wide variety of technology
on a daily basis. Every time a human interacts with different types of
technology, such as computers, phones, and monitors, this interaction is called
human-technology interface. Moreover, human-technology interfaces are vital to
nursing practice and patient care. In health care settings, nurses encounter
many human-technology interfaces, including; utilizing defibrillators,
intravenous pumps, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pumps, electronic
thermometers and cardiac monitors. All these technologies are necessary to
provide patients with high quality of care. Additionally, the nursing leaders
job requires them to interact with technology frequently. Leaders use databases
to obtain information about quality measures, and the latest technology
advances. In addition, leaders have to stay up to date with technology to
support HITECH Act integration. Here is a video as an example of human-technology interface.
Further, the Barcode medication administration system is an example affirms that the human-technology interface is enhancing
patient outcomes; while maintaining a connected and caring relationship between
the nurse and the patient. The Barcode systems reduce medication errors because
the nurse has to scan the patient’s identification bracelet and the unit dose
of the medication at the bedside. At the same time, the nurse should ask the
patient to identify himself and explain to him/her about the medication. The
nurse and patient conversation and frequent communication is the best way to
maintain a caring relationship while utilizing technology.
