While myriad forces are changing the face of contemporary healthcare, one could argue that nothing will change the way nursing is practiced more than current advances in technology. Indeed, technology is changing the world at warp speed and nowhere is this more evident than in healthcare settings. This article identifies seven emerging technologies that will change the practice of nursing; three skill sets nurses will need to develop to acquire, use, and integrate these emerging technologies; and four challenges nurse leaders will face in integrating this new technology. The role of technology in delivering costeffective solutions through technology and eHealth services has been encouraged and health groups have been urged to identify and evaluate suitable eHealth solutions as part of an overall strategy for developing quality care services While increased demand for health care alongside budget constraints are challenging the delivery of health care services.
