Abstract :
This systematic review aims to explore the impact of medical devices on the efficiency, workflow, and well-being of medical staff. With the rapid advancement of medical technologies, understanding their influence on healthcare professionals is crucial to optimize care delivery. Through an extensive search of peer-reviewed articles, we examine how various medical devices affect staff performance, task management, and overall job satisfaction. The review identifies both positive and negative outcomes, such as improved task efficiency, workflow integration, and reduced stress levels, alongside challenges like increased complexity and the need for extensive training. The findings suggest that while medical devices can enhance healthcare delivery, their design, usability, and integration into existing workflows are critical factors for achieving optimal benefits. Future research should address long-term effects and explore strategies for improving device implementation to support healthcare staff effectively.
Keywords:Medical devices, healthcare workflow, medical staff efficiency, staff well-being, technology impact, healthcare innovation.
