Why You Need to Include Your Nursing Workforce in Digital Transformation
7 reasons to involve your nursing workforce in digital change
When putting together your digital technology leadership team in healthcare, it’s worth bringing in the experience and perspective of a nurse to the table.
Here are reasons why:
Number One:
We’re the largest workforce in the NHS (even bigger if you add our midwifery and Allied Health Professional (AHP) colleagues to the mix!
Number Two:
We’re in the best place to empower citizens to take an active role in their own care through tech – the frontline.
Number Three:
We create and handle a lot of documentation – imagine the experience we offer to standardise this!
Number Four:
We’re a diverse bunch. From advanced practitioners to wound care nurses – our expertise reaches across healthcare.
Number Five:
We’re the bridge between IT teams and nursing teams. Your Chief Nursing Information Officer (CNIO) is vital to ensure your nursing workforce has the training and education to practice.
Number Six:
We care – we want to be involved in making the change, rather than having the changes done to us.
Number Seven:
We’re the largest workforce in the NHS – worth repeating, because don’t you think it’s a good idea to include the largest profession in decision making?
