In this final QSEN competency, nurses use information and technology to communicate, manage knowledge, mitigate errors, and support decision making. Direct care nurses apply technology and information management tools to support safe processes of care. They effectively navigate the EHR and respond appropriately to clinical decision‐making supports and alerts. They use information management tools to monitor outcomes of care and they use high quality electronic sources of health information. Nurse leaders ensure that nurses participate in the selection, design, implementation, and evaluation of information technology. They also anticipate unintended consequences of new technology and participate in the design of clinical decision support systems.

Intravenous pumps with built‐in limits for medication doses serve as an example of technology that assists in preventing catastrophic medication errors.
