According to this source, what is the relevance of this technology to nursing practice and the work of the interdisciplinary health care team?

To successfully complete this assessment, perform the following preparatory activities:Select a single direct or indirect patient care technology that is relevant to your current practice or of interest to you. Direct patient care technologies require an interaction, or direct contact, between the nurse and patient. Nurses use direct patient care technologies every day when delivering care to patients. Electronic thermometers or pulse oximeters are examples of direct patient care technologies. Indirect patient care technologies, on the other hand, are those employed on behalf of the patient. They do not require interaction, or direct contact, between the nurse and patient. A handheld device for patient documentation is an example of an indirect patient care technology. Examples of topics to consider for your annotated bibliography include:Delivery robots.Electronic medication administration with barcoding.Electronic clinical documentation with clinical decision support.Patient sensor devices/wireless communication solutions.Real-time location systems.Telehealth.Workflow management systems.Select four peer-reviewed publications focused on your selected topic that are the most interesting to you.Evaluate the impact of patient care technologies on desired outcomes.Analyze current evidence on the impact of a selected patient care technology on patient safety, quality of care, and the interdisciplinary team.Integrate current evidence about the impact of a selected patient care technology on patient safety, quality of care, and the interdisciplinary team into a recommendation.NotesPublications may be research studies or review articles from a professional source. Newspapers, magazines, and blogs are not considered professional sources.Your selections need to be current—within the last five years.An Evidence-based Recommendation for Selected Technology ImplementationPrepare a 4–6 page paper in which you introduce your selected technology and describe at least four peer-reviewed publications that promote the use of your selected technology to enhance quality and safety standards in nursing.

Be sure that your paper includes all of the following elements:Introduction to the Selected Technology TopicWhat is your rationale for selecting this particular technology topic? Why are you interested in this?What research process did you employ?Which databases did you use?Which search terms did you use?Note: In this section of your bibliography, you may use first-person since you are asked to describe your rationale for selecting the topic and the research strategies you employed.
