Patient Safety Presentation Assignment 3
Patient Safety Presentation Assignment 3
Submit your final project for the course, a patient safety presentation that evaluates an information management strategy in place (ideally in your current or former workplace) to determine if it improves patient safety and patient outcomes.
You have completed the background support in the first three milestones of this project. Incorporate instructor feedback from those milestones and submit your presentation by the end of Module Seven.
Final Presentation: Topic – Pxyis Machine
It should be 10-15 slides (not including the title page or reference pages).
You can add speaker notes, or you can add voiceover. Don’t worry, voiceover is optional. If you need help in adding speaker notes, here is a link to help: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/video-add-speaker-notes%E2%80%8B-65dacbfb-8aec-496e-b9a1-d96cfa86fb52
Slide Presentation suggestions. Think about slide presentations you have seen in the past.
Don’t overcrowd the slide. Keep it simple. Use the notes section to “tell” your story.
No more than 5 bullet points per slide with 5ish words per bullet.
Use 18 point size
Use color and graphics, but not too much. No more than 4 colors per slide and 1-2 graphics
I am including a template of a PowerPoint presentation for this course if you need assistance in getting started. Just change the design and make it your own.
Attached below is the RUBRIC that must be followed and the first 3 Pyxis Machine projects to use for the FINAL project
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.
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.
