The Value of a Nurse-Engineer Team in Evaluating Technology for Patient Care

Abstract

Nursing engineering is an emerging interdisciplinary applied science that combines clinical nursing expertise with engineering innovations to enhance the quality and efficiency of health care. This field improves the design, assessment, and implementation of health care technologies by fostering collaboration between nurses and engineers. This partnership ensures that technologies align with clinical requirements and improve patient outcomes. In critical care, by addressing essential issues such as workflow enhancement, identifying customized care solutions, and implementing secure, user-centered technologies, nursing engineering will become increasingly crucial in integrating clinical practice with technological advancements.
