ABSTRACT

In the evolving landscape of healthcare, nursing remains pivotal in delivering high-quality, patient-centered care across a variety of specialties. This review explores recent advancements in patient care within key nursing disciplines including critical care, pediatric, geriatric, psychiatric, and community health nursing. These specialties have witnessed significant transformations driven by technological enhanced interprofessional collaboration. In critical care, advancements such as AI-driven monitoring systems and tele-ICU services have improved early detection of complications and patient outcomes.
