Technology's role in addressing Maryland's nursing shortage.

Maryland, as other states in the United States, has experienced a nursing shortage. It is thought that the use of technology could help alleviate this shortage. A volunteer group has worked for over four years to identify technology solutions to ease the shortage of nurses. Two projects were undertaken--a grassroots survey of technology solutions to meet Maryland nurses' top concerns and a research study. The results of both the informal and formal study will be presented.

Information technology as an infrastructure for patient safety: nursing research needs.

This article describes the process utilized to create research questions which promote technology as an infrastructure to enable safe nursing practice. Beginning with scenarios of safety problems related to nursing practice, the team identified information technology including hardware, software, and organizational and operational components to help improve the safety aspects addressed in the scenarios. Further discussed are characteristics of technology necessary at each step in the nursing process and finally recommendations are presented for various research questions that would be needed to enable research on the use of the proposed technologies.

New uses for wireless technology.

Clinicians stay connected with tools that offer real-time data, including personal digital assistants, patient care robots, network voice communication badges, and telehealth. Using this technology, clinicians will soon be able to access the patient's entire electronic health record at the point of care. Although the hardware and the software are evolving, many solutions are currently available.
