Improving Care Using Technology 2025
A client is using a headset to virtually educate themselves about how to operate a wheelchair. This is an
example of which medical innovation?
Biosurveillance
Nanotechnology
Therapeutic realities
Artificial intelligence - ansTherapeutic realities
Therapeutic realities can be a combination of augmented reality, mixed reality, or virtual reality used in mental
health, education, and pain management.
Nanotechnology refers to microscopic devices used in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and conditions.
Medications that are engineered to target specific cells are examples of nanotechnology in use.
Biosurveillance tools collect, monitor, analyze, and communicate data received from hospitals, emergency
rooms, and public health departments to detect disease outbreaks and various natural and man-made
biological threats.
Artificial intelligence is machine intelligence that is similar to human intelligence used to process data.
A local hospital has a high volume of emergency room (ER) clients and wants to start implementing artificially
intelligent (AI) robots to assist with triage. The Director of Medicine asked at a hospital board meeting, "What
factors should we examine before implementing AI?" Which response would interfere with the board's
preliminary work related to implementing AI in the ER?
"Before looking at vendors, we should set a spending limit."
"We should ask about data privacy and security collected by the robot."
"There are so many vendors that we should see what each has to offer."
, "To identify our specific needs, we need to survey the ER staff." - ans"Before looking at vendors, we should set
a spending limit."
Although some technologies are expensive, it is an investment that may actually save money. By setting a
spending limit before even looking at vendors, may restrict what could be a good product. There are many
vendors on the market, so examining what each has to offer is critical. It needs to meet the needs identified by
the staff. Privacy and security are key considerations with any new technology.
A newly admitted client does not speak English and has moderate dementia. Which piece of technology could
assist the staff in the care of the client?
Radio-frequency identification
Computer prescriber order entry
"Smart" client rooms
Medication reconciliation - ansRadio-frequency identification
For clients that cannot self-identify, information technology offers solutions, such as radio-frequency
identification (RFID), QR codes, and barcoding identifiers. Medication reconciliation, "smart" rooms, and
computer prescriber order entry would not greatly assist the staff with a client that does not speak English and
has dementia.
Healthcare 4.0 resulted in which technology being used by many healthcare students and practitioners?
Simulation
Robotics
Electronics
