Technology is at every corner of every profession. If the nurses are not learning to adapt to the influences of technology, they can miss out on a lot of inventive and innovative techniques for success. This is true for nursing education as well. Many universities and training facilities are implementing the use of technology in nursing education to improve the quality of health care for patients.
Mobile phones are becoming increasingly important in everyday life and now in healthcare. There has been a steady growth of information and communication technologies in health communication and technology is used progressively in telemedicine, wireless monitoring of health outcomes in disease and in the delivery of health interventions. Mobile phones are becoming an important method of encouraging better nurse-patient communication and will undoubtedly increase in application over coming years.
