Title	:	How Technology will Change Intensive Care Unit Practice In hospitals
Country	:	Egypt
Authors	:	Dr. Hanan Mohammed Mohammed || Dr. Manal Salah Hassan
	:	10.9790/1959-0701073134

Abstract: The intensive care unit (ICU) is due for a makeover. Even though healthcare technology itself has improved, there haven't been many advances in care administered in the ICU since the 1960s. Some doctors are working to change that by better integrating new tech advances into daily ICU processes. Applying the best evidence to support nursing practice and generating new knowledge for use in practice are the hallmarks of excellence and allow practitioners to meet patient care quality and safety priorities. Although identifying a patient care problem comes easily to staff nurses, the process of clarifying the problem and channeling those ideas through to a practice change can be daunting for bedside nurses.

Abstract: Innovation is balanced with student needs and learning styles. As we respond to the demands of an ever-changing health care environment and a new generation of nursing students with a variety of learning styles, we focused our efforts to help these students incorporate challenging material and use their critical thinking skills. We also focused on developing their roles as nurse practitioners who utilize the latest evidence-based practice. At the same time, we are trying daily to avoid the educational pitfalls of the past, and to transform curriculum to meet the needs of the students and the pediatric population they will serve. Adapting new technologies should be carefully weighed against the traditional methods of lecturing. Increasingly, hybrid courses, a combination of teaching in the digital environment (online) and face-to-face interaction between students and faculty, are proving to be very effective, and the student feedback regarding this teaching method is over whelming positive. In this article, we share some of our best practices to teaching in this hybrid, digital environment.

Abstract: Malpractice crisis is one of the emerging challenges of the current healthcare system. Therefore, nurses are required to understand what malpractice is and develop or adopt effective strategies to prevent its occurrences. This paper aimed to update the baseline knowledge of the concept of malpractice using Walker and Avant (2011) eight steps concept analysis method and to guide nurses' practice in developing countries with regards to safe nursing practice. It was found that the concept of malpractice is related to professions and professionals, characterized by unintentional misconduct and resulting in injury and harm. The most common factors leading to nursing malpractice were improper communication, documentation, patient assessment, use of equipment, and deviation from standards of nursing practice, as well as lack of patient advocacy role. Nursing administrators play an important role in preventing the incidences of malpractice by forecasting proper plan of actions to prevent the occurrences of malpractice..
