Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have revolutionized the field of healthcare by providing quick and accurate results for various medical conditions. This review article aims to explore the impact of RDTs on nursing workflow and patient satisfaction. The integration of RDTs in healthcare settings has significantly altered the traditional roles and responsibilities of nurses. By enabling rapid diagnosis and treatment decisions, RDTs have streamlined nursing workflows, leading to improved efficiency and time management. Moreover, the implementation of RDTs has enhanced the quality of patient care by facilitating prompt interventions and reducing the need for unnecessary tests and treatments. However, challenges such as training requirements, cost implications, and potential errors associated with RDTs must be addressed to maximize their benefits in nursing practice. This review synthesizes existing literature on the utilization of RDTs in various healthcare settings, highlighting the advantages and limitations of these diagnostic tools. The impact of RDTs on nursing workflow is analyzed in terms of time savings, resource allocation, and job satisfaction among nursing staff. Furthermore, the influence of RDTs on patient satisfaction is examined through factors such as reduced wait times, improved treatment outcomes, and enhanced communication between healthcare providers and patients.
