What is the project question (PICOT)? In other words what are you ultimately trying to figure out? Address in P-I-C-O-T format first; then a narrative description.
|
In registered nurses (P) performing acute medical care, does implementing education about medication administration (I) compared to standard protocols (C) reduce medication errors (O) during six months (T)?
Narrative Description: This project aims to determine whether targeted education programs for medication administration can significantly reduce medication errors among acute care nurses compared to current standard practices, with evaluation over a six-month period. |
|
What is the title of your project? Be specific and concise.
|
"Reducing Medication Errors in Acute Care through Nurse Education and System Improvements" |
|
Who will benefit from your project?
|
Registered nurses in acute care settings, patients receiving medication, and healthcare organizations seeking to improve patient safety metrics. |
|
Where are the people located that will benefit from your project?
|
Acute care hospital units where the project will be implemented. |
|
What date do you plan on implementing your project? If you plan to implement this in BSN485, please specify that here.
|
Planned for implementation during BSN485 (specific date to be determined with clinical site). |
|
How long will your project take (from beginning to end)?
|
6 months from planning through evaluation. |
|
Budget requirements of your project (how much money will it take to implement your project)? Please note that this is a proposal; you will not fund this project.
|
· Office supplies: $50 · Breakfast items for training sessions: $300 · Projector: Provided by hospital · Nurse time: Covered by hospital administration Total estimated cost: $350
|
|
Why did you decide to do this project?
|
Medication errors remain a significant patient safety issue, with 1.5 million occurring annually in the U.S. This project addresses the need for evidence-based interventions to reduce errors through nurse education and system improvements. |
|
What is the overall goal of this project? What do you hope to achieve by doing this project?
|
Reduce medication errors by 40% within six months among participating nurses while improving medication safety competencies and system use. |
|
What do you need to help you complete this project? Examples may include supplies, Facility/Administration support, volunteers, etc.
|
· Hospital administration support · Access to nurses for training · Training materials and space · eMAR system access · Office supplies for documentation
|
|
Will your project have long-term effects? If so, what are they? If none. Why not?
|
· Sustained reduction in medication errors · Improved patient safety culture · Better nurse competency in medication administration · Potential cost savings from reduced errors
|
|
Will the project be sustainable? If so, how will you sustain the project?
|
· Incorporate training into new nurse orientation · Ongoing competency assessments · Regular refresher courses · Continued use of double-check system and eMAR
|
|
How will your project be evaluated?
|
· Pre- and post-training competency tests · Tracking medication error rates before and after intervention · Compliance audits for double-check system · eMAR utilization metrics
|
|
Are there any risks associated with the project?
|
· Nurse resistance to change · Time constraints for training participation · Difficulty maintaining new practices long-term
|
|
Is there anything that may prevent your project from succeeding? If so, what?
|
· Staffing shortages limiting participation · Competing institutional priorities · Technological issues with eMAR system
