Description: Introduction: The adoption of health technologies is happening on an unprecedented scale, with enormous potential to improve the health of populations. Information technology in nursing emerges with a strong focus on the quality and safety of care for the benefit of the patient. The relationship between technology, nursing practice and care outcomes is complex and significant, and only with continued commitment to understanding technology and how we use it, will we be well prepared to positively influence the quality of healthcare (Locsin & Barnard, 2007). However, it is not known with sufficient confidence, studies that show how the integration of technology in nursing care influences the methodologies of management and organization of care, in terms of structure and practice of care, which justifies carrying out a scoping review that summarizes the knowledge produced to date. Inclusion criteria: All types of studies that show the integration of technology in nursing care and its relationship with the organizational structure and processes, and the management and organization of care in a hospital environment. Methodology: This protocol follows the guidelines of the methodology presented by The Joanna Briggs Institute (2020) and the PRISMA ScR model (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extended for Scoping Reviews) for structuring the collected information. The research will be carried out in three distinct phases supported by Medline, CINALH, Cochrane databases through the EBSCO platform, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, Scielo and PubMed. The extracted data and subsequent analysis will be done using the JBI Template Source of Evidence Details, Characteristics and Results Extraction Instrument, adapted to the question of this review. Key words: nurse, information technology, management and organization, nursing care
