2 Reasons Why Technology is Linked to Nurse Satisfaction

Technology is changing the way our companies grow and our employees produce. Here is how you can leverage technology to help your nurses feel less burned out and overworked.

1. Technology can help address nurse  burnout and shortages

Even before COVID, a 2021 study by Healthcare IT News showed that  72% of nurses felt burnout, and 90% considered leaving the industry  altogether¹. LouAnn Bala, MSN, RN of Get Well states, “…poor nurse retention has been an issue for hospitals for decades, but technology can help by automating and supplementing nurse strategies.”¹ This in turn, helps increase job satisfaction and productivity while keeping employees on board. Another key takeaway from Bala is that by implementing risk-reducing measures with technology, the burden of possible medical errors will decrease.

2. Technology can increase efficiency,  empower nurses, and improve patient outcomes 

Bradley University wrote an article that references a 2015 study by the Columbia University Medical Center in which nurses used smartphones and tablets to help diagnose patients². The mobile app guided nurses through identifying chronic health conditions and provided cues for nurses along the way. They found that by empowering nurses with technology, nurse satisfaction improved, allowing them more time to focus on patient comfort². 

As you can imagine, when you implement efficient processes and allow nurses more time to focus on patients, the natural effect is improved patient outcomes. Nurses, prescribers, and pharmacies no longer need to play phone tag to track down medication ordering statuses. If you’re ready to help modernize your hospice, then BetterRX is your answer. With the BetterRX Connected RX Platform, you can order, track, and manage medication all in one place.
