Abstract

This chapter examines how digital disruption and transformation are reshaping the nursing profession, a cornerstone of healthcare systems worldwide. Emerging technologies are creating opportunities to enhance patient care, streamline clinical workflows, and improve health outcomes, but they also challenge traditional nursing roles and require new digital competencies. The chapter explores the scope of these changes, assessing both the progress made and the barriers that continue to hinder implementation, including structural constraints and professional concerns. It considers the responsibilities of nursing profession strategic leadership, the contributions of education providers, and the role of practitioners in shaping the profession&s;s future. Readers will gain insight into the strategic actions needed to ensure nursing adapts effectively and inclusively, safeguarding its values while embracing innovation. The chapter provides guidance for strengthening nursing&s;s position in an increasingly digital healthcare ecosystem, ensuring continued relevance and impact.
