The Impact of Nursing Informatics on Patient Outcomes and Patient Care Efficiencies
The outcomes for patients as well as hospital performance have been impacted by several issues. To enhance patient outcomes and care efficiency, the organization must put into practice effective strategies. To provide value for healthcare providers and patients, the approach calls for the creation of a value-based business solution. The hospital’s most important stakeholders are its patients. To gather and record patient data for use in the continuum of care, the current proposal calls for the installation and usage of a health information system in the form of a Barcode Medication Administration (Keers, Williams, Cooke, Walsh, & Ashcroft, 2014). The Barcode Medication Administration is the most important information system for enhancing safety and quality outcomes during drug administration, despite the fact that several information systems exist to enhance patient outcomes and patient care efficiencies.
Task Description
To enhance patient outcomes and care efficiency, the proposed project calls for the deployment of a barcode medication administration system. The hospital has trouble handling patient data, which has led to a number of inefficiencies, including medical blunders. To overcome the present restrictions, it is proposed to create and execute the Barcode Medication Administration. According to Seibert, Maddox, Flynn, and Williams (2014), the automated Barcode Medication Administration system guards against medical mistakes. Hospitals and other healthcare institutions utilize the system to gather and manage patient data in order to enhance quality and safety outcomes.
The administration of prescription medications to patients is made better by the barcode medication administration system. The system consists of a computer with internet access and a bar code medicine device. A bar code reader and the supporting software are part of the system. The ordering and administration of medications is where medical errors occur, according to study (Keers, Williams, Cooke, Walsh, & Ashcroft, 2014). As a result, the system will enhance process efficiency by avoiding medication-related problems and enhancing accuracy during the ordering and administration phases. The system will be used by nurses as a verification technology to lower errors.
