Agrawal, A., & Wu, W. Y. (2009). Reducing medication errors and improving systems reliability using an electronic medication reconciliation system. The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety, 35(2), 106-114. Medication Reconciliation recognizable by many as MedRecon is a common Commission National Patient Safety Goal as from the year 2006. A research was done to test its ability to reduce the medication-prone errors and to aid in improving the consistency of its process. The research methodology was through an electronic MedRecon system where two analyses underwent subjection to performance; the first analysis manifested itself on a two-week pilot assessment of the system which formed its basis on the 120 MedRencon occurrences and the second analysis actualized itself according to the 17-month system assessment which was in line with the 19,357 MedRecon measures. The result of the evaluation indicated that the exception of the home medication is the prevalent kind of discrepancy. American College of Clinical Pharmacy, McBane, S. E., Dopp, A.

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug, 35(4), e39-e50. The American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) earlier provided a location sentiment on collaborative drug therapy management (CDTM). From 2003, primary law narrating CDTM has developed and extended all through the U.S. CDTM is suitable to aid the release of Comprehensive Medication Management shortened as CMM by experimental pharmacists. The HEALTH AND MEDICAL 2 CMM is inherently highlighted by the ACCP to be a central component of the guiding principles of practice for the available clinical pharmacists, and is planned to increase medication‐allied results in a joint practical surrounding. Latest methods of care liberation stress on team‐based, patient-oriented care and commonly relate reimbursement to the success of significant humanistic, clinical along with economic findings. Therefore, pharmacists working below the CDTM understandings or via other potential privileging methodologies are best located to offer CMM. Kohli, R., & Tan, S. S. L. (2016). Electronic health records: how can IS researchers contribute to transforming healthcare? Mis Quarterly, 40(3), 553-573. Electronic Health Records allow incorporation of records on patient’s health for scheduling secure as well as appropriate handling. When shared with statistical analysis, total-level electronic health records permit assessment and growth of valuable medicine and therapy for chronic fatigues. Through hopeful endurances when putting into practice, electronic health records in progress, societal and structural challenges reduce electronic health records growth and extensive application. The challenges are as a result of persistent problems like privacy, interoperability, and security within the significant owners (patients, purveyors, and providers). Depending on the stakeholders' desires along with the issues, we recognize two major thematic scenarios—analytics and integration—through which the realizable information systems order can lead to electronic health record.

Computerised provider order entry combined with clinical decision support systems to improve medication safety: a narrative review. BMJ Qual Saf, 23(9), 773-780. The authors of this article conducted tentative-centered research on the specific databaseaffiliated Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality abbreviated as AHRQ along with the Patient Safety Net so that they can identify the effects of Computerized Provider Order Entry better known as the CPOE. They performed it in conjunction with Clinical Decision Support System on Adverse Drug Events (ADE) rates in patients and outpatients locale. The research, consequently, found that a mixture of CPOE and CDSS helps in the reduction of prescribing errors but does not necessarily show the signs of preventing the clinical Adverse drug events to either the patients or outpatients. Therefore, the latest safety problem for example alert fatigue is known for limiting the system's safety get in action. Singh, H., & Sittig, D. F. (2015). Measuring and improving patient safety through health information technology: The Health IT Safety Framework. BMJ Qual Saf, bmjqs2015. Through this article, the authors Singh and Sittig argues that despite The Health Information Technology possessing the ability to advance patients security in the hospitals, its realization, and frequent usage has resulted into some unintended impacts hence the introduction of new safety measure. The primary reason for introducing Health IT was to enable the healthcare fraternity to widen legitimate, possible methodologies meant to quantify security considerations within the crossroads of Health Information Technology and patient wellbeing. However, this safety measure was not feasible enough which later resulted to the introduction of The Health HEALTH AND MEDICAL 4 Information Technology Safety Framework to offer a theoretical base for health IT-in line with patient security dimension, monitoring, and enhancement.

Association between workarounds and medication administration errors in bar-codeassisted medication administration: protocol of a Multicenter Study. JMIR research protocols, 6(4). The bar-code-assisted medication administration system had been proved to have the potential of reducing the medication administration errors to the hospitalized patients. However, the system is said not to undergo the usage as intended resulting in workarounds which may harm the patients. A study was therefore conducted to identify the relationship connecting the workarounds and the medical administration errors in the bar-code-assisted medication administration process. Determination of the frequency and the type of workaround and medication administration errors and to explore the potential risk factors for workarounds was also the aim of the study. In conclusion, results on causes of workarounds can help in a determined methodology to decrease workarounds and hence boost patient protectionism.

I will gladly help you
Hello there,As promised i am back with a final version of the outline. I wrote it in a pro way this time so you can sent it to your professor. I followed the instructions given above together with the example provided. I will attach again both the new updated outline and also the final version of the essay(which is not changed , i only edited the outline since you stated the essay is good).Please take a look when you have time and keep me posted if you need any further changes. I think this is what you had in mind for the outline.

Medical Errors Outline
I. Introduction

Medical malpractice or medical negligence, independent of the terminology used or
the medical field, implies the violation, in multiple ways, of the professional rules in
relation to the "standard care" offered by other doctors in similar circumstances. In
statistical data, over 7% of physicians (of which 5% are family doctors) each year
are judged for malpractice. Because of the importance of this subject and also
because of the numerous examples of malpractice, the paper has the role of
focusing on the major ones and giving solutions to them.

Thesis Statement

In terms of statistics, the paid medical malpractice claims in the U.S are decreasing
each year. This suggests that the medical system is heading in the right direction.
Even so, if it was to check the graphic, it would be noticed that the decline is very
slow which means that multiple approaches are needed. If in 2001 there were
around 16.000 malpractice claims in the States, in 2016 their number dropped to
almost half of it ( 8,500 claims). The states which have the largest population are
also the one who face this problem most frequently. Based on the data provided in
this paper, it is thought that implement the majority of the technology presented
below could have dramatically decreased the claims of malpractice.(David
Belk,Malpractice Statistics,2016)

II. Medication Administration Errors
1. Issue being addressed:
a. Drug administration represents one of the greatest

responsibilities of a nurse. Even so, in some situations, wrong
administrations can occur and is the health systems responsibility
to find ways to avoid them

b. The following factors can influence medication errors: lack of
training, inadequate knowledge in regard to the patient or the drug,
inadequate knowledge in regard of the outcome, both physical and
emotional issues, poor communication, workload and also time
pressure, lack of protocols, wrong labeling etc.
(Feleke,Mulatu,Yesmaw,2015)

c. Statistically speaking, the highest percentage when referring to
medication errors are represented by administration errors followed by
dispensing error and last the transcription error.
(Feleke,Mulatu,Yesmaw,2015)

d. A frequent cause of medication error is represented by the lack of
the five rights ( right patient, right timing, right dosage, right administration
and right medication). (Feleke,Mulatu,Yesmaw,2015)

2. Possible Solution:
a. Implementation of a BCMA -Bar Code Medication

Administration
b. Whenever the nurse will have to offer a medication, he/she will
have to scan the patient's wristband and also the medication to confirm that
all the five rights. Once this step is done, the medication can be
administered.
c. One of the studies pointed out that the implementation of this
program leads to the reduction of wrong medications being administered to
the right patient by 41% (Truitt,Thomspon,Martin,NiSai,2016)
d. The study also pointed out that it reduced the right medication
given to the wrong patient by 74% (Truitt,Thomspon,Martin,NiSai,2016)

3. State of implementation and obstacles
a. In terms of Kurt Lewin's models of change, there are three steps
that need to be followed: unfreeze, change and refreeze
b. Unfreeze refers to the fact that the employees are ready for a
change
c. Based on the latest implementation statistics, there is a 49.6%
implementation rate in terms of this software. (Veen,van den

Bemt,Bilsma,Gier,Taxis,2017)
d. Disadvantages: the cost for such a product can be high even
though the price for malpractice cases is even higher, many nurses see this
BCMA system as more tasks for them. (Veen,van den

Bemt,Bilsma,Gier,Taxis,2017)
e. Studies pointed out that indeed BCMA increases the time a nurse
has to spend with a patient which can result in less time for the other
patients. (Truitt,Thomspon,Martin,NiSai,2016)

III. Electronic health records
1. Issue being addressed:
a. In many situations physicians are not able to keep track of

patients ambulatory interventions and chronic pathologies.
b. The need of Electronic health records is essential in case of
patients with multiple diagnosis who needs to visit multiple doctors
which are not communicating.

c. Statistically speaking, Approximately 47% of the physicians are
satisfied with the implementation for the EHRs while only 5% are very
dissatisfied.

2. Presentation of the EHRs:
a. In many situations, physicians are not able to keep track of
patients ambulatory interventions and chronic pathologies.
b. The database contains the general information of the patient
such as - name,...
