case study
A 410-bed hospital has used a homegrown provider order-entry system for 5 years. Leaders recently decided to put inbar code administration software to scan medications at thetime of delivery in order to decrease medical error. Theadministration is concerned about medication errors, top-level administration is concerned about meeting the JointCommission accreditation standards, and the IT departmentis worried that the scanners may not be reliable and maybreak, increasing their costs. The plan is to have a scannerin each patient’s room; nurses will scan the medication when hey get to the room and scan their own badges and thepatient’s armband. The application makes it possible to printout a list of the patients with their scan patterns, and thenurses sometimes carry this printout because patient’sarm-bands can be difficult to locate or nurses do not want to dis-turb patients while they are sleeping. The bar code softwarewas purchased from a vendor and the facility has spent abouta year refining it. The IT department is responsible for imple-mentation and has decided that it will implement each of thefour inpatient settings one at a time at 6-month intervals.The hospital administration wants to conduct an evalua-tion study. You are assigned to be the lead on the evaluation
