Evaluating the Effectiveness of Mobile Health Technologies in Nursing Care Coordination Practices
Posted: Jan 01, 2022
Abstract
The integration of mobile health technologies into nursing care coordination represents a paradigm shift in healthcare delivery that merits comprehensive investigation. Nursing care coordination, defined as the deliberate organization of patient care activities between two or more participants involved in a patient's care, has traditionally relied on paper-based systems and verbal communication. The advent of mobile health technologies promises to revolutionize this fundamental aspect of nursing practice by enabling real-time information sharing, reducing communication barriers, and enhancing clinical decision-making. However, the existing literature presents a fragmented understanding of how these technologies actually impact nursing workflows, patient outcomes, and professional satisfaction. This research addresses critical gaps in current understanding by examining mobile health technology implementation through a holistic lens that considers not only technological performance but also human factors, organizational context, and patient-centered outcomes. Previous studies have typically focused on singular aspects of technology implementation, such as user acceptance or technical reliability, without capturing the complex interdependencies that characterize real-world nursing practice. Our investigation moves beyond these limitations by developing an integrated evaluation framework that simultaneously assesses multiple dimensions of effectiveness.
