NUR 550 Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal,

NUR 550 Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal,

Learners will select a valid nursing practice problem for an evidence-based practice project proposal.

The project will be completed in sections, beginning in  and culminating in a final written paper detailing the evidence-based practice proposal.

Medication administration errors are a healthcare concern and efforts to prevent and reduce their occurrence can leverage on different interventions that include the use of health information technology (HIT). The susceptibility to medication administration errors (MAEs) among the critically-ill patients is higher than other population or patient demographics (Trimble et al., 2017). Therefore, this EBP project will assess the effectiveness of implementing health information technologies compared to the conventional medication management processes to reduce medication errors among the critically-ill patients.

PICOT Question
P	Population	Among the critically ill patients
I	Intervention	Integration of health information technology in the medication administration process
C	Comparison	Use of conventional or normal medication administration process
O	Outcome	Reduction n medication administration errors
T	Timeframe	Duration of hospital stay
PICOT Create a complete PICOT statement.	Among the critically ill patients (P), does the integration of health information technology (I) compared to conventional medication administration process (C), lead to a reduction in medication administration errors (O) during patient’s stay (T)?
Problem Statement Create a problem statement for your PICOT. You will use this problem statement throughout your final written paper.	Medication administration errors are a health concern because of the adverse effects that they cause to patients and the need for healthcare providers, especially nurses, to develop interventions based on the use of evidence-based practice. Medication errors lowers quality care and patient outcomes. Medication errrs sometimes cause no harm to patients. However, in most cases, they devastate nurses and are harmful to patients. Nurses are a critical part of the care provision and have a duty to protect patients against errors in the medication administration process. The critically ill patients require close and effective monitoring and nurses remain accountable to anything that happens to the patients (Alotaibi & Federico, 2017). Interventions like the use of health information technology can enhance quality care outcomes and allow nurses to offer the most effective care to patients in critical conditions that include intensive care unit (ICU) (Naidu & Alicia, 2019). Health information technology enhances and transforms healthcare delivery as it leads to a reduction of human errors, facilitates better coordination among the interdisciplinary teams and improves overall practice efficiencies. By using health information technology models like electronic medication administration (e-MAR, barcode scanning and e-prescribing, stakeholders can reduce medication administration errors among nurses and enhance patient safety.

The purpose of this assignment is to select a relevant nursing practice problem for your evidence-based practice project proposal.

To identify a relevant problem, consider problems generally faced in nursing practice (coordination of health care, assessment, education, patient support, trauma prevention, recovery, health screenings, etc.).

Use the “PICOT Draft” template to complete this assignment.

Use a national, state or local population health care database to research indicators of disparity.

Choose a mortality/morbidity indicator to identify a clinical problem or issue that you want to explore pertaining to a population of focus.

Use this indicator to begin to formulate a PICOT statement.
