Nurses innovate with technology that reduces burnout and improves care

Nurses are the tireless heroes of healthcare, unsung and under-resourced. They believe in the work they do and work every day to do more with less. Thankfully, new technologies and workforce strategies are emerging to help nurses better care for patients they serve and help reduce the daily burden that takes their attention away from care delivery.

In this special section, we focus on how nurses are making use of technology – AI and automation, EHR optimization, decision support, telehealth and remote monitoring – to manage the challenges of staffing shortages, avoid burnout and advance their approaches to patient care.
