Nursing engagement in technology design and implementation is essential to safety and wellbeing – Molly K. McCarthy, MBA, BSN, RN-NI

In this episode of Caring Greatly, Molly talks about the importance of bridging perspective gaps between clinicians, technologists and business leaders. She describes how engineers need to see clinical workflows first-hand in different care settings to understand real-world applications for technology. In turn, clinicians benefit from directly experiencing software and hardware solution development. This two-way collaboration enables understanding of subtle nuances that make technology successful in the clinical space. Molly goes on to describe how exposing clinicians and engineers to each other’s work early in their respective education creates a shared understanding and vocabulary for solving future challenges. It also paves the way for advancing cultures of respect and collaboration. Finally, Molly outlines a vision for the future in which technology ceases to be a barrier between clinicians and patients and becomes an enhancer of safety and wellbeing for all. Please visit www.heartofsafetycoalition.com for links related to this episode. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Stryker.
