Abstract

The complex nature of verbal patient-nurse communication holds valuable insights for nursing research, but traditional documentation methods often miss these crucial details. This study explores the emerging role of speech processing technology in nursing research, emphasizing patient-nurse verbal communication. We conducted case studies across various healthcare settings, revealing a substantial gap in electronic health records for capturing vital patient-nurse encounters. Our research demonstrates that speech processing technology can effectively bridge this gap, enhancing documentation accuracy and enriching data for quality care assessment and risk prediction. The technology's application in home healthcare, outpatient settings, and specialized areas like dementia care illustrates its versatility. It offers the potential for real-time decision support, improved communication training, and enhanced telehealth practices. This paper provides insights into the promises and challenges of integrating speech processing into nursing practice, paving the way for future patient care and healthcare data management advancements.
