on vital signs documentation. The study aims to compare traditional nursing practices
with technology-assisted monitoring specifically in the context of community health
clinic.
Rationale:
The pervasive integration of health technologies into healthcare settings has
instigated a significant transformation in medical care delivery. This evolving landscape
necessitates a comprehensive assessment of the specific impact of these technologies,
particularly in the context of community health clinic. In response to the scarcity of
nursing staff in the Philippines, individuals from non-medical backgrounds are being
increasingly trained to operate such devices, allowing them to make substantial
contributions to overall healthcare efforts. This strategic training of non-medical staff
becomes particularly crucial in regions with a shortage of nurses, ensuring the efficiency
and patient-centeredness of care. The study aims to understand how technology-
assisted monitoring, in conjunction with traditional nursing practices, influences
healthcare delivery in community health clinic. It is imperative to recognize whether
technology enhances or potentially alters established healthcare norms. This
introspective analysis is vital for healthcare professionals and policymakers striving to
optimize practices amidst the dynamic interplay between technological advancements
and traditional healthcare norms. Notably, the current literature lacks comprehensive
comparative analyses within the nuanced context of community health clinic, where
non-medical staff, trained to operate devices, plays an increasingly vital role. By
addressing this gap, the research aspires to contribute substantively to the existing
body of knowledge, providing insights into the multifaceted implications and
effectiveness of technology integration in healthcare settings. The training of non-
medical staff, as a strategic response to the shortage of nurses in the Philippines, adds
a critical dimension to understanding the dynamics of healthcare delivery in community
settings.
