The quotes below are about this issue:

Technology is also changing the delivery of care, and many employers predict a movement to telemedicine and electronic visits, also known as e-visits.
| "The technology has really gone crazy as far as the equipment that nursing is using now. And people are living longer, and they're more critical, and the technology—what's out there—you need experience in using it." | Northeast |
| "Another thing is the new technologies that are coming down the road. We're sitting here talking about electronic medical records, but ten years from now that's going to look like we were on tricycles or something. There will be the use of telemedicine and the use of—I don't know—maybe robots and the use of Smartphones to treat people. I mean, who knows what's going to happen? So, it's keeping pace with that kind of progressive and innovative technology. And keeping up with that curve and those developments—it would be a lovely thing if it could be built into the curriculum." | Northeast |
