The aim of the Hanover Nursing Practice Centre project is to set up a “ward of the future” in which technical innovations are used to support nursing staff and improve patient care. Technical solutions should help to improve the work processes of nursing staff and create more scope for individualised patient care.

• Needs-based selection of technological innovation
• The technologies are selected and introduced together with the nursing staff
• Practical suitability and effectiveness are tested with the staff
• Creation and implementation of training measures to promote technical expertise
