Summary
Chief Nursing Informatics Officers (CNIOs) have highlighted that the barriers to technology adoption among nursing staff stem from practical challenges, not resistance to innovation. Key issues include long shifts, varying digital literacy, and the urgent need to prioritize patient care, which often limits training opportunities. Successful adoption hinges on technology being intuitive, time-saving, and perceived as relevant, fostering a sense of ownership among nurses. Training and effective communication are essential to navigate these challenges and facilitate better integration of new technologies in clinical settings.
