    FINAL PROJECT MILESTONE 1

    FINAL PROJECT MILESTONE: PYXIS MEDICATION DISPENSING SYSTEM 3

    FINAL PROJECT MILESTONE: PYXIS MEDICATION DISPENSING SYSTEM

    Pyxis medstation system is a designed automated dispensing machine that facilitates accurate medication distribution. Medication management is decentralized and has features that help reduce cases and incidences of loading the wrong medication. It also alerts medical providers on the medication to be administered which acts as a cushion for safety precautions for risks that may be encountered, (Utech, et.al., 2017). I chose the topic to facilitate awareness in healthcare facilities to incorporate the program into their operations to enhance patient safety. The machine helps in the reduction of the risks of medication diversion. It literally helps in enhancing safety in healthcare. Previous times drugs were dispensed into patient units using the hybrid model and medication was supplied by the central pharmacy. Peripheral stock located in each care unit has overseen the dispensing of drugs to each patient successfully. Incorporation of the Pyxis has reduced the fatigue the healthcare personnel used to record the drugs dispensed manually. Final Project: Patient Safety Presentation

    The machine is very crucial in all medical care centers because it has been recommended to be the best mechanism in improving efficiency at work and patient’s safety. Patients’ safety has been guaranteed because of the barcode verification included in the machine. The machine has positive impacts and outcomes to healthcare centers as it has helped minimize the time spent by nurses in inventory management of drugs. This was to enhance efficiency and improve the performance of urgent care needed by the patients. It also provided pharmacists with a humble time and had time to perform other activities at the health care facility, (Dobson, et.al., 2018). It has also reduced drug storage errors and efficiency in resource management. It has been used in handling the health-related errors that occur from time to time in healthcare. This machine facilitates patient care and safety as it saves lives because it is accurate in the administration of medications to patients. Therefore, it is important to assert that these machines have high standards of ensuring patients are safe from any harm.

    PYXIS MEDICATION DISPENSING SYSTEM 1

    PYXIS MEDICATION DISPENSING SYSTEM 5

     

    Pyxis Medication Dispensing System

    Part One

    The Healthcare Technology has highly improved over the last few years with the introduction of Automated Medication Dispensing Systems (AMDS) being the latest milestone. Pyxis Medication Dispensing System (PMDS) is one of the most effective AMDS that has been adopted by pharmacists and clinicians in the bid to improve and enhance efficiency in healthcare services provision. PMDS uses a more sophisticated software that makes it efficient in handling patient request, manage the inventory, document the medication dosage, as well as billing the patients for the drugs (Anyanwu & Egwim, 2016).

    Notably, the PMDS has had a huge positive impact on the nursing practice. Clinicians, pharmacists and nurses in various healthcare facilities across United States have embraced the use of PMDS as a mechanism of improving efficiency and patient safety. The system has been of great importance to them since it offers a decentralized system of distributing medications to patients. The automation medications dispensing machine is capable of providing a computer-enabled way of storage drugs, dispensing them, and tracking the medication. The machine has helped pharmacists to deliver medication in a more efficient, accurate, and timely manner. By using the system, nurses are able to monitor by medications are prepared, packaged, selected, and delivered to patients in their care units. Moreover, PMDS helps clinicians and pharmacists to assess the medication for a particular patient –something that helps to eradicate errors (de-Carvalho, Alvim-Borges & Toscano, 2017). Generally, automated medication dispensing machines have been of great importance to the healthcare sector since they have improved the efficiency and safety of patients through the administration of efficient and appropriate medication at the right time. Final Project: Patient Safety Presentation

    There are various vulnerable groups of people in the society who require specialized medical attention –one of them being the elderly. Older people are faced with multiple chronic ailments, which require specialized medical attention and management. Most of the ailments affecting the elders require different kinds of medications, which come in various doses (Tsao et al., 2014). If not well managed, the older people may end up taking the wrong medication or inappropriate dosage, which could worsen their situation leading to death. Considerably, the elderly need to be monitored carefully and have the medication administered to them carefully. In order to achieve this, PMDS has made it possible for clinicians to attend to this group of people since the machine helps to ensure that there are no medical errors made when administering medication to the elderly (de-Carvalho, Alvim-Borges & Toscano, 2017). Moreover, the machine ensures that elderly people in hospital or at home are receiving the medication in the right dosage –something that improves their life expectancy.

    Nurses and other healthcare practitioners have been advocating for the automated medication dispensing machines due to a string of advantages associated with them. The first advantage is that it helps the nurses to reduce medical errors when administering medication to patients simply because patients are given medications in the right dosage. Secondly, the system helps to reduce the workload for the medical practitioners. This is because everything is automated as compared to traditional means of dispensing drugs, which was tedious and slow. PMDS helps nurses to reduce the time required to dispense drugs to the patients (Tsao et al., 2014). Finally, the use of the system improves the overall performance of clinicians and other medical practitioners.

     

     

    Part Two

    The most significant benefit of using PMDS is because it ensures patient safety. Notably, there are a number of ways through which PMDS can be used to ensure patient safety in a healthcare facility. First, the system can be used to reduce medical errors linked to over or under dosage. Secondly, the system ensures that patients are given the right medication and at the right time without wasting time. Moreover, the patients are given medication in the right time in order to avoid dangers linked to delayed administration of medication (de-Carvalho, Alvim-Borges & Toscano, 2017). Finally, the machine helps to store medications in the rights conditions –hence ensuring that they are safe for human consumption. Final Project: Patient Safety Presentation

    Notably, patient safety outcomes linked to PMDS ensures that there are minimal interruptions in the way medications are administered to patients seeking medical help. Patient safety is linked to the wellbeing of the patient in terms of medical administration in the effort to help him/her recover from the illness affecting him or her. The outcomes of patient safety include the ability of clinicians to respond to patients’ requests in time. That is, PMDS ensures that medical practitioners deliver the medication to patients at the right time by avoiding any delay. Patient well-being and good health is another outcome of patient safety whereby patients are given medications that are suitable to heal them from certain kind of illnesses (Mackert et al., 2016). The patient safety is linked to how well he or she is attended to. PMDS ensures that patients are given the medication in the right dosage hence there are chances of living a healthier life. Generally, patient safety outcomes are linked to the wellbeing of an individual –something that is assured through the use of PMDS that ensures that patients are given medication at the right time and dosage.

    It is beyond no doubt that PMDS has been embraced and adopted by most hospitals across United States. The adoption of this automated medication dispensing machine has been linked to efficiency and patient safety in hospitals. Despite all the positive impacts associated with the system, it is the right time to ensure that more improvements are made to the system to ensure that it becomes more efficient. First, it is crucial to ensure that the system is integrated to the overall strategy of the hospital, which includes a Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE). Further, PMDS should be integrated with a strong Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) (Tsao et al., 2014). Moreover, the system should have a bar-code at the bedside to ensure that patient’s medications are scanned to ensure that they are correct and specific to that a particular patient. Finally, the system should be integrated with an electronic charting system in order to improve its efficiency. Final Project: Patient Safety Presentation

    PYXIS MEDICATION DISPENSING SYSTEM 1

    PYXIS MEDICATION DISPENSING SYSTEM 4

     

    Pyxis Medication Dispensing System (PMDS)

    PMDS Adoption

    Over the last few decades, the world has witnessed a tremendous growth in technology that is being applied across all sectors of the economy to aid its daily operations. Notably, one of the most significant healthcare technologies adopted by most healthcare providers is the Pyxis Medication Dispensing System (PMDS). PMDS is a “sophisticated automated medication dispensing system that uses technology to help healthcare practitioners to store medications, dispense them, and also track the medication records” (Mackert et al., 2016). PMDS is fitted with an enhanced technology comprising of a bar-code scan that helps clinicians to get the right medication for a particular patient. Medical practitioners and nurses can also use this system to ensure they issue the right dosage to a patient while at the same evading errors that may occur when prescribing drugs to the patient. This inbuilt scanner also helps to ensure that the right medications are put into the cabinet during the process of restocking. The system has also the capability of warning the users from taking more than the prescribed drugs in order to avoid waste (Tsao et al., 2014).

    Advantages

    The adoption of Pyxis Medication Dispensing System can be advantageous to both the patients and the healthcare providers. First, it helps to enhance and improve the efficiency during the process of dispensing drugs since the system offers a single and central point of drug dispensation. This is because it reduces the manual way of counting medication to ensure that they are in their right doses hence saving labor and time (de-Carvalho, Alvim-Borges & Toscano, 2017). Secondly, the system helps to ensure that the patient safety is enhanced. By using the inbuilt scanner, the clinician can ensure that right medication is issued to the patient in the appropriate dosage. Thirdly, the system can be used to minimize the costs linked to carrying out the inventory process manually since the PMDS helps the organization to order the pharmaceuticals according to the current demand and supply (de-Carvalho, Alvim-Borges & Toscano, 2017). Final Project: Patient Safety Presentation

    Disadvantages

    Despite the advantages associated with the adoption of Pyxis Medication Dispensing System by any healthcare facility, the system has got a number of shortcomings. The first disadvantage is costs linked to the installation and maintenance of the system is very high. Secondly, is the security and system failure can lead to the administration of wrong medication –something that can be dangerous to patients or end users (de-Carvalho, Alvim-Borges & Toscano, 2017). Final Project: Patient Safety Presentation

    Legal and Ethical Issues

    There are several legal and ethical issues linked to the adoption and utilization of PMDS to dispense drugs in the hospitals. One of the most significant legal and ethical issues is the confidentiality and privacy of the patient data captured and stored within the system. Moreover, autonomy is another issue since unauthorized people like researchers and other non-healthcare people can access patient’s private data. In such cases, the patient can sue the healthcare provider for leaking such confidential data, which should remain private (Anyanwu & Egwim, 2016). Hence, under all circumstances, healthcare providers should strive as much as possible to ensure that patient’s data captured and stored within the system does not get into the wrong hands. Moreover, the clinicians and systems administrators should strive to ensure that medical errors associated with system failure are minimized. If that is not taken care of, errors may lead to the administration of unsafe medication, which can also lead to adverse effects on the patient, this can be a very serious ethical issue to the healthcare professionals.

    NUR 305 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric

    Overview There is no doubt that technology has had a significant impact on the healthcare industry. From new testing techniques to surgical equipment, today’s medicine is very different from that of just 10 years ago. Before the surge of modern technology, nurses relied heavily on their own sense of sight, touch, smell, and hearing to monitor patient status and detect changes. Over time, nurses’ natural senses have been replaced by technology designed to detect those same physical changes in patient conditions. And now, thanks to online communities and other digital communications, a wealth of health-related information is more accessible to patients than ever before. In addition, quality improvement and clinical decision support rely on patient information being readily available in digital form. The role of information technology in patient care management is to support care management functions, including patient data capture, aggregation, analysis, and reporting. The development of electronic medical records (EMR) has enabled care management to move from the health insurance company to the clinical practice. In the final project for this course, you will examine an information management strategy or patient care technology to determine if it improves patient safety and outcomes; then, you will develop a patient safety presentation around that strategy or technology. The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Three, and Four. The final submission will occur in Module Seven. This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:

    • NUR-305-01: Evaluate current patient care technologies for their ability to promote patient safety and quality outcomes • NUR-305-02: Assess the extent to which patient care technologies inform clinical decision making regarding quality initiatives • NUR-305-03: Determine the legal and ethical considerations surrounding the use of information management and patient care technologies in

    healthcare delivery • NUR-305-04:Analyze current healthcare technology policies for their implications on healthcare delivery to vulnerable populations

    Prompt

    For the final project in this course, you will develop a presentation in which you evaluate an information management strategy or patient care technology to determine if it improves patient safety and patient outcomes. First, choose an existing information management strategy or a patient care technology (ideally, one from your own workplace) with faculty approval. Then, develop an online presentation about your chosen topic, which must include the following: a description of the strategy supported by the literature; a discussion of the impact of the strategy on the practice of professional nursing; and a discussion of why you, as a professional nurse, would or would not support the use of this strategy. To help support your final presentation, you will submit three milestones throughout the course for instructor guidance and feedback. Final Project: Patient Safety Presentation
