Capstone Project Change: Adverse Drug Reactions among Older Adults

Background/Problem

ADEs results to 1.3 million emergency visits annually

Older adults (65 + years) at higher risk of ADEs

ADEs causes include wrong prescription, cognitive and sensory impairment etc.

ADEs have many negative repercussions on the healthcare system and patients. They increase financial costs in health due to increased LOS and patient readmissions. Also, ADEs result to reduced patient safety.

2

Intervention

Two methods were proposed: electronic medication and educational training for healthcare practitioners

The best approach between the two is electronic medication

Therefore, the change project focuses on introducing electronic medication to deal with ADEs

N.B: Educational training for healthcare practitioners and patients on prescriptions and medications can also reduce Adverse Drug Events. However, the most suitable method is electronic medication.

Electronic medication- automatically documents the administration of medication into certified EHR technology using electronic tracking sensors

3

Evidence-Based Literature

Search Strategy

Articles to support intervention were searched on Google Scholar and PubMed

All articles published within five years

Key search word was electronic medication and Adverse Drug Events

Articles published within five years have current information on electronic medication. The Boolean operator (and) was used to limit the number of results

4

Evidence-Based Literature

Findings

Electronic medication can reduce time nurses spend with patients (Gregory et al., 2021)

Electronic medication is a better intervention in reducing ADEs (Li et al., 2019)

Patients are more optimistic about e-prescribing (Lau et al., 2018)

Electronic medication improves patient safety (Wang et al., 2019) and workflow (Kinlay et al., 2021)

The study by Li et al., (2019) compared different interventions including education and training. On the other hand, Gregory et al., (2021) recommends for more research because electronic medication reduce the time nurses spend with their patients. Electronic medication enhances collaboration between healthcare practitioners in improving patient outcomes.

5

Change Objectives

Enhance workflow at hospital facilities (Kinlay et al., 2021)

Improve patient safety (Wang et al., 2019)

Lower healthcare costs

Improve clinical practice and reduce medication errors (Bugnon et al., 2021)

The change objectives are derived from the literature findings on the selected intervention (electronic medication). These objectives will address the current problems experienced hospital facilities due to high number of ADEs. They include advanced workflow, improved patient safety, and reduced healthcare expenditures.

6

Resources Needed

Tools to facilitate electronic medication include: digital displays, audiovisual reminders real-time monitors and recording tools (Checchi et al., 2014)

Trained personnel who can efficiently these tools to undertake electronic medication

Electronic Health Record (EHR) database

The five Electronic Medication Practice (EMP) characteristics include recording dosing events and storing a record of adherence, audiovisual reminders to cue dosing, digital displays, real-time monitoring, and providing patients with adherence performance feedback (Checchi et al., 2014). A successful electronic medication system must incorporate these characteristics.

7

Expected Outcomes

Reduced readmissions at the facility

Reduced Length of Hospital Stay (LOS) for targeted patient population

Reduced operational costs/treatment expenditures

Increased patient safety/low infection risks

Reduced number of ambulatory visits to hospitals

Evaluating Electronic Medication Effectiveness

Reviewing patients’ opinions on the intervention through interviews

Assessing healthcare expenditures after implementing the change and compare them to previous expenditures (quasi-experiments)

Analysis of the budgetary needs to sustain the intervention

Assessing infection rate, ambulatory visits and LOS using hospital records

The evaluation of the intervention will be outcome-based. Evaluation data will be obtained through interviews with the patients and healthcare practitioners, hospital documents and quasi experiments. The aim will be to determine whether the change objectives of promoting patient safety, workflow, advancing clinical practice and a reduction of healthcare costs are met.
