Quality of Patient Care by the Tech-Savvy Informatic-Nurses Humanizing Care- A Global Perspective

Abstract

The concept of humanizing and quality care remain a matter of concern with technology entering different facets of healthcare. Nurses bearing the weight of patient care in all phases are experiencing ambivalence in terms of acceptability of technology into patient care. The concern of missing out on the human component as we progress to adopt informatics in all aspects of care, it is essential that the experts incorporate and pay heed towards humanizing health informatics. Nurses have traditionally been the flag bearers of holistic care and the concern about IT affecting the “core component” is genuine. The realization of tailored patient care is long been appreciated by nurses and now introduced in medicine by the name “Precision medicine”. The article would discuss the impact of current and future technological advances in healthcare, its implications in healthcare and contribution towards humanizing informatics care in various aspects of care.
