Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the optimization of emergency nursing practices in Finland, with a specific focus on nursing processes and technology integration. This study adopts a qualitative literature review approach to an alyze how these elements can be systematically enhanced to improve both the efficiency of emergency departments and the quality of patient care. The central research question addresses two interrelated dimensions: (1) how emergency care workflows and technologies can be optimized and (2) what systemic chal lenges currently hinder these improvements in Finnish emergency departments.
This study adopts a qualitative literature review approach to investigate the opti mization of emergency nursing practices in Finland, with a specific focus on nurs ing processes and technology integration. Utilizing systematic content analysis, the research identifies patterns and themes related to emergency department ef ficiency, technological advancements, and patient outcomes. This methodologi cal framework enables the categorization of findings into three core themes: (1) workflow standardization, (2) barriers to technology adoption.The analysis re veals critical connections between optimized nursing practices and measurable improvements in patient care quality, particularly in time-sensitive conditions.
The significance of this study lies in its potential to inform evidence-based policy reforms and operational strategies within Finnish emergency departments. By systematically analyzing current practices and technological gaps, this research provides actionable insights for enhancing triage protocols, resource allocation, and staff training frameworks in time-critical care settings. The findings further offer a structured pathway for advancing emergency care delivery in alignment with Finland’s evolving healthcare demands and international best practices.
