Abstract
This study aimed to describe the use of digital tools in a clinical ward of a university hospital. The implementation of digital tools in a clinical ward of a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro was described. Access data was analyzed using Google Analytics, providing information on the user profile. Data were collected from May 2022 to September 2023. The unit's nursing team comprises 35 professionals, and digital tools have been implemented gradually, yielding positive results. The trend line pointed to a growing adherence to digital tools in the unit, with Pearson's coefficient = 1. Digital literacy is fundamental for modern nursing. The positive adherence to implementing digital tools in the hospital unit demonstrated the importance of leadership in promoting digital literacy and creating an environment of psychological safety for learning innovations. Digital transformation is no longer an option but is necessary to provide safe, efficient, and patient-centered healthcare.
