Transforming Nursing to improve Healthcare


The noble field of nursing is ever growing and expanding. For most professionals nursing is a lifelong commitment, rather than just a job. The healthcare industry thrives because of dedicated and round the clock services of nurses. To further improve the patient care industry, technology and innovation have constantly tried to transform and improve nursing, to make itmore organized and systematic.

A new application has been adopted by many nurses to do the tedious work of administration. It has been developed to keep a tab on all items from delivery to sale, to maintain records and keep staff informed about recalled products. This has completely transformed the field of nursing and now, nurses are able to concentrate on patient care rather than on other activities. This has revolutionized the industry where vendor tracking technology keeps a record of all transactions and a handheld picking device scans all items and uploads a printout on the case cart for reference.

This new application has proven to be more beneficial and less time consuming for nurses. This ensures there is never a shortage of items when in need and promotes greater transparency, system wide.
