Foreword

In today’s digital era, information technology (IT) and nursing are two fields that are increasingly merging. Digitalization has the potential to revolutionize nursing: it can make processes more efficient, increase patient safety, and expand the expertise of nursing professionals. Yet, despite the immense benefits that IT can offer in nursing, technology remains a challenge for many.

The “NurseBook: IT Handbook for Nursing” was written with the aim of bridging these two worlds. It is designed not only to provide nursing professionals with an understandable introduction to IT but also to offer practical guidance and solutions for everyday life in hospitals and nursing facilities.

In this handbook, you will learn how modern technologies can be applied in nursing, which tools are available to you, and how you can effectively use them to improve patient care while simultaneously optimizing your workflows.

I hope that this book serves as a reliable companion for you, shedding light on the complexities of IT and helping you fully harness the numerous opportunities digitalization offers for nursing.
