Abstract:
The current UK government has pledged to upgrade technology as we shift from analogue to digital, to support the challenges of providing care for an ageing nation with complex needs. Digital technology is firmly embedded across community nursing practice, yet staff often cite barriers to its implementation. The author explores the future of technology in home-based care, through the lens of telehealth, telemedicine, virtual wards and ambient documentation. Healthcare professionals must embrace the benefits of the digital world and understand the challenges of maintaining patient safety and measuring patient outcomes, while considering digital inclusivity and inequalities in accessibility.
