Technology has developed fast, covering all the areas of nursing, from care giving, health education, research and service management. Care management is presented as a model aimed at providing care of high quality to the users, ensuring the provision of humanized services, through the efficient use of resources, responding to professional standards and the goals of each health institution, decentralization in decision-making and demanding of responsibility. A bibliographic review was performed aiming at systematizing the potential of information and communications technologies to manage nursing care in different areas of interest. Care is a communicative act that requires technological and scientific knowledge and the cultural context in which the subjects of care live, work, recreate themselves and get sick. The use of the information and communications technologies optimizes these processes in the context of nursing knowledge management. Its importance to health is undeniable, while it is today an essential tool in health care provision.
