While very much in its infancy in terms of becoming an established tool, the use of digital technology in community nursing is steadily growing, despite the persistent barriers to, and challenges encountered in its uptake and implementation. The mobile nature and high workload of a community nurse's daily practice should facilitate the rapid uptake of time-saving technology. However, there are indications that technology may not be the panacea it was originally proclaimed to be. Francesca Ramadan elaborates on the past and present applications of digital technology in community nursing and delves into the principles that should shape the future potential of tools such as artificial intelligence, automation technologies and clinical decision support systems.
尽管在成为一种既定工具方面还处于起步阶段，但数字技术在社区护理中的应用正在稳步增长，尽管在采用和实施过程中仍然存在障碍和挑战。社区护士日常工作的移动性和高工作量应该会促进节省时间的技术的快速采用。然而，有迹象表明，技术可能不是最初宣称的那样是万能的。Francesca Ramadan 详细阐述了数字技术在社区护理中的过去和现在的应用，并深入探讨了人工智能、自动化技术和临床决策支持系统等工具未来潜力应遵循的原则。
