Canadian nurses poised for digital health leadership
First-ever quantitative survey of Canadian nurses explores access, usage and impact on practice
TORONTO, May 14, 2014 /CNW/ – An inaugural survey* undertaken jointly by the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) and Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) reveals that 83 per cent of Canadian nurses are comfortable using digital health tools in practice and approximately three-quarters feel digital health tools could improve continuity of care (78 per cent) and patient safety (72 per cent).
"The vast majority of Canadian nurses recognize digital health as a key enabler to help deliver better patient care and improved efficiency, yet 57 per cent say that the legacy systems and tools at their disposal are not adequate for their role," said CNA President Barb Mildon. "The survey has provided valuable insight into how the health community can intensify the implementation of digital health tools, what strengths can be built upon, and what gaps we need to close."
