| description | * This paper examines some of the issues related to the introduction and use of healthcare technology, in particular monitoring equipment into the healthcare settings in Cameroon, West Africa. * Although healthcare technology is used widely in many hospitals in industrialised countries, this is not the case in Cameroon where it is either not available extensively or where it is available, it is not used. * Before it is introduced, a health technology assessment needs to be undertaken to ensure that the intended equipment is required to meet a particular need. * The key issue that needs to be addressed is the education of the nurses and other personnel who will be using the technology as without this education, the safety of patients may be compromised. * The education of nurses should also include a consideration of alternatives to technology to monitor patients. Key Words: Cameroon * education * monitoring * nursing * patient safety * technology * * Este articulo examina algunos de los aspectos mas importantes relacionados con el uso de la tecnologia en el cuidado de la salud, en particular el equipamiento de monitoreo en ambitos de cuidado de la salud en Camerun, Africa Occidental. * Aunque la tecnologia en el cuidado de la salud se utiliza ampliamente en varios paises industrializados, este no es el caso en Camerun donde no esta disponible o si esta disponible no se utiliza. * Antes de iniciar su uso, se requiere realizar una evaluacion de la tecnologia para asegurar que el equipo que se pretende utilizar satisface una necesidad particular. * El problema clave a solucionar es la educacion de los enfermeros y otro personal que usara la tecnologia, ya que sin esta educacion se compromete la seguridad de los pacientes. * En la formacion de enfermeria tambien debera incluirse la consideracion de otras alternativas para el monitoreo de los pacientes.
