Technology is only as useful as its ability to be implemented, and complexity and usefulness are not necessarily equivalent. Consider the stethoscope, a technology without a circuit board or touchscreen, in use for centuries, and one that collects critical patient data. In contemporary times, however, technology has evolved into areas once deemed science fiction, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. In this Discussion, you examine how these and similar technologies inform evidence-based practice in nursing.
Select a topic from one of the following and review the literature related to the use of the following in nursing practice.
Big data
Machine learning
Artificial intelligence
Post a response explaining how the topic you selected informs evidence-based practice and improved outcomes in nursing. Be specific and provide examples.
