Carlisle
brings up the point that pretty soon, nurses will not have a choice
as to whether or not they want to use telecare, but is it still
considered nursing if you are not face to face with the patient.
Carlisle says yes because this new style of nursing is better than
before. The issue arises in this topic because not many are
familiarized with this new technology, but Carlisle says even the
most skeptical will be convinced that telecare is the way to go due
to the improvements it can make in healthcare.
This
article has some useful information, not as much as other articles
that I have found. The argument that is made in this article only
represents one side, so there may be some bias in this source.
However, the topics included in this piece seem to be creditable.
This
fits into my research because it explores how nurses are hesitant of
a massive change like this. It has changed my view on my topic
because I never had an understanding or idea of how nurses themselves
feel telecare. Seeing as how they will be the ones directly working
with the new technology, it is helpful to get a good perspective on
their views.
Goran, Susan F. "A
Second Set Of Eyes: An Introduction To Tele-ICU." Critical Care Nurse 30.4 (2010): 46-56. Health Source:
Nursing/Academic Edition. Web. 30 Apr. 2012.
In this article,
Goran talks about the improvements that have been made in the ICU
with technology, which is referred to as tele - intensive care unit.
It is discussed how with this technology, mortality rates have
reduced and it discusses the appealing aspects this technology has
with the nursing staff.
Goran discusses the
positive aspects of tele-ICU with information on how the technology
works, why it should be used, and how it actually is used. This work
is very useful, however the article doesn't go too much on to the
other side. This work isn't biased, and it seems to be creditable.
Other resources are different than this because some do talk about
the negative side of things.
This article will
be very helpful during research and writing one final argument. It
explores the idea of tele-ICU and the impact it had made in patients
lives while in a useful and informative style.

"Nursing Informatics 101: Using Technology To Improve Patient
Care."ONS Connect 26.4 (2011): 8-12.

This work goes into
how the nursing field is affected by technology. It discusses how
nurses should learn how to use this new type of technology because
most places are becoming equipped with all of these changes.
Mitchell talks about the positive influence of technology and how it
has created an easy work flow.
This resource does
not directly talk about the influence technology has on the ICU, but
Mitchell does make valid points that will be helpful with this paper
such has how technology is changing the work environment of the
nursing world.
A resource like this fits into the final argument of my paper because it gives background on the nurses side of things and that will be helpful with understanding an importnat aspect of technology and nursing.
Nowlin, A. "Get Ready For The Virtual ICU." Rn
67.8 (2004): 52. CINAHL with Full Text. Web.
30 Apr. 2012.
This article starts off by giving a scenario of a night in the
hospital ICU and how a nurse utilizes camera systems in patients
rooms. Nowlin discusses how the number of deaths that occur each
year in the ICU can be greatly lowered with the help of monitoring
systems.
This is a useful source because Nowlin gives examples of real cases
that have reaped the benefits from this technology. However, it
seems to be a little one-sided. Nowlin talks only about how
monitoring systems are very useful in hospitals but the possible
negative effects are not mentioned.
Several pieces of information in this resource are helpful to the
argument. It explains the behind the scenes situation and how this
technology can eliminate death rates. However, it would be more
helpful if it discussed the possible negativity of this monitoring
system.
This article by
Swann talks about the emerging technology that is rising within the
health field. Topics included in this article include, what is
telecare, what equipment is used, how it is used, how it can be used
in ones home, and ethical issues. Each of these topics are very
informative and gives the reader an understanding of the topic.
Of all the resources
acquired, this article is the only one that gives a complete
understanding of telecare. How Swann discusses the ethical issues
showed an unbiased article. The main point of this article is to be
informative, and it is.
Subtopics in this
article are going to be extremely helpful, in fact it might be the
most helpful. The mere fact that it explored ethical issues
associated with telecare, will help form a well rounded argument.
