Infographic created by Wolters Kluwer Health highlights nurses' digital and social habits at work as nurses are increasingly relying on mobile devices.
83 percent of nurses perceive that their organization’s policy allows patient care staff access to public web sites, including social media, to access general health information that will help them with patient conditions, according to a recent survey from Wolters Kluwer Health.
The findings reveal that 65 percent of nurses are using mobile devices for professional purposes at work at least 30 minutes per day, while 20 percent use them for two hours or more. Also notable, these same results indicated that the vast majority of organizations strictly prohibit actual interaction with patients through the technology.
