Nursing on the electronic highway

Notes prepared by Helen Hamilton, Lois Hazelton and Keith O'Brien, from a paper presented by Dr Kathleen McCormick at Royal College of Nursing, Australia's National Forum, Canberra in May 1996. The original paper identified the potential, current trends and applications of electronic technology, and also discussed some of the difficulties and barriers to realising the full potential of this technology in health care, education and research.
