Review the feedback on the change proposal professional presentation and make required adjustments to the presentation. Present your evidence-based intervention and change proposal to an interprofessional audience of leaders and stakeholders. Be prepared to answer questions and accept feedback.
After presenting your capstone project change proposal, write a 250–350-word summary of the presentation. Include a description of the changes that were suggested by your preceptor before your presentation and how you incorporated that feedback. Describe how this interprofessional collaboration improved the effectiveness of your presentation. Include a description of the feedback and questions from your audience after your presentation, and how this experience will affect your professional practice in the future.
APA style required, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Capstone Project Change: Adverse Drug Reactions among Older Adults
Background/Problem
ADEs results to 1.3 million emergency visits annually
Older adults (65 + years) at higher risk of ADEs
ADEs causes include wrong prescription, cognitive and sensory impairment etc.
ADEs have many negative repercussions on the healthcare system and patients. They increase financial costs in health due to increased LOS and patient readmissions. Also, ADEs result to reduced patient safety.
2
Intervention
Two methods were proposed: electronic medication and educational training for healthcare practitioners
The best approach between the two is electronic medication
Therefore, the change project focuses on introducing electronic medication to deal with ADEs
N.B: Educational training for healthcare practitioners and patients on prescriptions and medications can also reduce Adverse Drug Events. However, the most suitable method is electronic medication.
Electronic medication- automatically documents the administration of medication into certified EHR technology using electronic tracking sensors
3
Evidence-Based Literature
Search Strategy
Articles to support intervention were searched on Google Scholar and PubMed
All articles published within five years
Key search word was electronic medication and Adverse Drug Events
Articles published within five years have current information on electronic medication. The Boolean operator (and) was used to limit the number of results

Evidence-Based Literature
Findings
Electronic medication can reduce time nurses spend with patients (Gregory et al., 2021)
Electronic medication is a better intervention in reducing ADEs (Li et al., 2019)
Patients are more optimistic about e-prescribing (Lau et al., 2018)
Electronic medication improves patient safety (Wang et al., 2019) and workflow (Kinlay et al., 2021)
The study by Li et al., (2019) compared different interventions including education and training. On the other hand, Gregory et al., (2021) recommends for more research because electronic medication reduce the time nurses spend with their patients. Electronic medication enhances collaboration between healthcare practitioners in improving patient outcomes.
5
Change Objectives
Enhance workflow at hospital facilities (Kinlay et al., 2021)
Improve patient safety (Wang et al., 2019)
Lower healthcare costs
Improve clinical practice and reduce medication errors (Bugnon et al., 2021)
The change objectives are derived from the literature findings on the selected intervention (electronic medication). These objectives will address the current problems experienced hospital facilities due to high number of ADEs. They include advanced workflow, improved patient safety, and reduced healthcare expenditures.
6
Resources Needed
Tools to facilitate electronic medication include: digital displays, audiovisual reminders real-time monitors and recording tools (Checchi et al., 2014)
Trained personnel who can efficiently these tools to undertake electronic medication
Electronic Health Record (EHR) database
The five Electronic Medication Practice (EMP) characteristics include recording dosing events and storing a record of adherence, audiovisual reminders to cue dosing, digital displays, real-time monitoring, and providing patients with adherence performance feedback (Checchi et al., 2014). A successful electronic medication system must incorporate these characteristics.
7
Expected Outcomes
Reduced readmissions at the facility
Reduced Length of Hospital Stay (LOS) for targeted patient population
Reduced operational costs/treatment expenditures
Increased patient safety/low infection risks
Reduced number of ambulatory visits to hospitals
Evaluating Electronic Medication Effectiveness
Reviewing patients’ opinions on the intervention through interviews
Assessing healthcare expenditures after implementing the change and compare them to previous expenditures (quasi-experiments)
Analysis of the budgetary needs to sustain the intervention
Assessing infection rate, ambulatory visits and LOS using hospital records
The evaluation of the intervention will be outcome-based. Evaluation data will be obtained through interviews with the patients and healthcare practitioners, hospital documents and quasi experiments. The aim will be to determine whether the change objectives of promoting patient safety, workflow, advancing clinical practice and a reduction of healthcare costs are met.
