Almost three-quarters of nonphysician healthcare professionals use mobile devices to provide patient care. Some nursing schools now require their students to use mobile devices that are equipped with software that allows them to access the most up-to-date medication information, including dosing information, drug interactions and lab tests. Healthcare systems are beginning to provide mobile devices to their staff or implementing bring-your-own-device (BYOD) programs to enhance the care of their patients and meet the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services mandate to have electronic health records in place. This continuing education program will inform and update clinicians regarding developing technology and the expanding use of mobile technology in nursing, particularly at the point of care.
Goals and Learning Outcomes
- Identify the most common types of mobile devices and operating systems
- Discuss key factors to consider when selecting a mobile device
- Name at least three ways to use a mobile device in a clinical setting
