Instructions

Change Proposal

Technology has been credited with contributing to a safer patient environment. Create a change proposal for a new technology that will contribute to a safer patient environment. Examine human factors including resistance to change into the expanded use of informatics. Be sure to include how your proposed change will impact patient safety, how you will measure the impact of your change, and how you will communicate and implement this change.

Submissions Details:

Submit your response in a 3- to 5-page Microsoft Word document.

Name your document SU_NSG3039_W2_Project_LastName_FirstInitial.doc.

Submit your document to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.

Cite sources in the APA format on a separate page.

Relying on Data

The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.

For this assignment, make sure you post your initial response to the Discussion Area by the due date assigned.

To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial postings. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite sources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of the week.

Tasks

In order for data to be reliable there are several conditions that need to be met—accurate, timely, and complete. Share an example of when you had to make a decision using data that were not accurate, timely, or complete.

Integrating technology for safer patient environment

Introduction

The value of technology in healthcare has been recognized for decades now. The benefits of computerized physician order entry (CPOE), electronic medical record (EMR) and personal health records (PHR), automated medication dispensing technology, point of care (POC) testing, and other solutions are clearly evident in the industry today. But what can you do with this information?

Computerized physician order entry (CPOE)

Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) is a system that allows physicians to enter orders electronically. It can reduce errors, improve efficiency and patient safety, improve quality and reduce costs. CPOE also helps increase compliance with the healthcare system by offering patients an easy way to track their prescriptions or lab results.

In addition to improving communication among physicians, CPOE has been shown to lead to increased patient satisfaction by providing them with access to their own medical records at any time they desire!

Electronic medical record (EMR) and personal health records (PHR)

• Electronic medical record (EMR) and personal health records (PHR)

• EMRs are systems that store medical records, whereas PHRs are records that a patient can access and update. The majority of healthcare providers use EMRs in their offices or facilities, but some hospitals have multiple locations with separate systems for each location. An EMR may include information about patients’ past visits, medications they’ve been prescribed or taken, diagnostic test results from lab work done at the doctor’s office or hospital lab—and even results from scans performed by imaging technology like x-rays or CT scans! This can help identify potential problems early on so you can take steps to address them before they become serious issues for your loved one’s health care situation.

• Patients should also be able to access their own personal health record as well: this allows them an opportunity not only see what tests were done during last visit but also remember details such as allergies/allergies well after visiting one time only once before moving out state where allergy shots aren’t available anymore due poor economy conditions over past few years…

Automated medication dispensing technology

Automated medication dispensing technology is a significant step forward in the integration of technology into healthcare. It allows pharmacists to focus on more complex tasks, such as verifying orders and writing prescriptions for patients, while also allowing nurses to focus on more complex tasks, such as filling out various forms and evaluating patients’ condition. This can improve patient care by reducing errors in medication management as well as increasing efficiency and accuracy when it comes time for dispensing medications (which may be necessary if you are administering multiple medications).

Medication bar coding and administration (BCMA)

Bar coding is a system that uses bar codes to identify medications. Medication bar coding and administration (BCMA) can be used to track, trace and monitor medication use in hospitals. It’s also used to help prevent unintentional errors such as wrong dosage or incorrect administration of medication by staff members.

BCMA allows hospitals to track their medications through the pharmacy waste stream, which means they can easily identify if any of them have gone missing or if someone has tampered with them. This helps ensure patient safety while also reducing costs associated with lost or stolen prescriptions by providing an audit trail on every prescription dispensed at each facility where BCMA equipment is installed on site

Point of care (POC) testing

Point of care (POC) testing is any type of diagnostic test that can be performed at the point of care. It can be performed by a nurse, doctor or other healthcare professional. POC tests are used to diagnose various conditions, such as cancer and heart disease, but they also play an important role in managing chronic illnesses such as asthma or diabetes.

Some types of POC tests require samples from patients themselves; others don’t require any sample at all – instead they simply provide information about what’s happening inside your body right now without needing any additional help from you! In this case it’s called non-invasive imaging technology (NII).

The value of technology in healthcare was recognized decades ago, and we continue to see the benefits today.

The value of technology in healthcare was recognized decades ago, and we continue to see the benefits today. Technology can help improve patient safety by reducing medical errors, increasing access to care and improving the quality of care.

Conclusion

We can all benefit from the promise of technology in healthcare. By using standardized processes and tools, we’re able to improve patient safety and care delivery for everyone. But it’s also important that we think about how new technologies will affect individual patients—and how they might help us better understand our own health needs. This is why it’s so important to consider your own personal needs as well as those of others before making changes in your practice or home life.
