The Future of Perioperative Nursing: Cory Williams’ Digital Health Research

Digital health is reshaping healthcare delivery, and its role in perioperative nursing is gaining attention. In his latest paper, DHCRC HDR Emerging Leader Cory Williams examines how digital tools can enhance patient care, improve workflow efficiency, and support clinical decision-making in perioperative settings.

Cory’s research highlights key opportunities for digital health integration, including electronic health records, real-time patient monitoring, and clinical decision support systems. These technologies can help perioperative nurses manage patient care more effectively, reducing errors and improving coordination across surgical teams.

The paper also explores challenges such as data security, interoperability, and the need for digital literacy among healthcare professionals. Cory emphasises the importance of addressing these barriers to fully realise the benefits of digital health in perioperative care.

As healthcare continues to evolve, Cory’s research underscores the potential of digital solutions to enhance surgical patient outcomes and improve the efficiency of perioperative nursing practice.
