Emerging technology illustrates the importance of designing and developing new ideas, strategies, and policies based on technology in a healthcare organization. Advancements in technology help healthcare organizations and staff members especially nurses to effectively treat and monitor patients to enhance the safety and health provided. Remote patient monitoring devices are becoming an essential part of nursing practices due to the effective implementation of information technology in ensuring the quality and safety of patient health and the early and on-time detection of issues related to patients’ health for better monitoring and treatment. 

Evidence-Based Patient Care Technology

Early recognition of the problem plays an important role in providing early treatment which helps in reducing the problems and health issues that occur due to the delay in responding to the deteriorating conditions of the patients. Moreover, technology provides solutions without any ambiguities which result in a better understanding of the problems of the patients and generates improved patient safety outcomes. Nursing technology also helps enable nurses to provide quality treatment to patients with remote monitoring sensor devices and improved communication through wireless communication (Kooij et al., 2022). Patient records are also processed, and organized safely with complete confidentiality using technology-based record keeping devices and systems. Technology has great importance in healthcare organizations and benefits the staff members most importantly nurses by providing quality assured technological healthcare solutions to problems (Boikanyo et al., 2023). The patient care technology I have chosen for my research is sensor devices which are wearable and help in the constant monitoring of the patient’s health condition. The patient’s heart rate, level of oxygen, and temperature of the patient along with other vital signs facilitate the quality improvement and care provided to the patients. 

Research Methodology

The research is based on the evidence-based approach of determining the impact of sensor device usage in a healthcare facility by the nursing staff and other interdisciplinary teams. A thorough research is conducted using different research-based platforms including PubMed, CINAHL, ResearchGate, Google Scholar, Springer, and BioMed Central. The research was based on keywords including ‘Sensor Devices’, ‘Remote Monitoring’, ‘Nursing Technology’, ‘Wireless health communication’, ‘Quality of Patient Health and Safety’, and ‘Health Information Technology’. The research provides sufficient and evidence-based data about the beneficial impact of remote monitoring and sensory devices on the health of patients and the efficiency of nursing staff. The research also helps in understanding the long-term sustainability of healthcare information technology through the training and education of nursing staff thus ensuring the health and quality of effective patient care and treatment.

Impact of Patient Sensor Devices on Patient Safety, Care Quality and Interdisciplinary Team

This article defines how patient sensor devices are helpful for the safety of the patients and ensuring high-quality care to the patients. Wireless systems are becoming the need of time due to their efficiency and reducing the cost of treatments thus providing helpful solutions to people having serious health problems. These systems are most importantly useful for the countries in which population growth is increasing and the healthcare organizations with advanced technologies are decreasing. People in those countries are unable to visit hospitals daily due to the high traffic in hospitals. elderly people are the major count of the people who can’t pay their visits to hospitals daily for their basic routine checkups, Thus this problem has been solved by patient sensor devices that play a major role in analyzing the basic vital signs of the patient along with the patient’s health condition. Sensor devices can determine the heart rate, temperature of the patient, blood pressure level, and oxygen level. These measurements can help nursing staff along with other interdisciplinary teams in monitoring the condition of the p[patient continuously while providing wireless guidelines to the patients regarding their health condition and the precautionary measure
