Nursing Practice Standards and Policies for Healthcare Technology, Care Coordination, and Community Resource Utilization

Nursing practice standards and policies significantly shape the use of technology, care

coordination, and community resource utilization. The American Nurses Association

(ANA) advocates for healthcare technology, emphasizing patient privacy (ANA, 2020).

HIPAA guidelines safeguard the security and confidentiality of health information,

aligning with ANA standards for patient-centered care coordination (Keshta & Odeh,

2020). Nurses are encouraged to identify and connect with community resources,

ensuring patient consent and privacy (Edemekong et al., 2022). Ethical principles,

including autonomy and beneficence, guide decisions regarding the adoption of health

technologies, care coordination, and utilization of community resources (Varkey, 2021).

patient-centered care, safeguarding patient rights and interests. Awareness and

implementation of local, state, and federal policies further enhance the efficiency and

effectiveness of patient care. In summary, integrating technology, care coordination, and

community resources, guided by ethical standards and policies, ensures patient safety

and the potential for improved long-term health outcomes for individuals like John.
