Automated Dispensing System Analysis
The technology that I would use to teach nursing clinical skills would be an automated medication dispensing system such as Pyxis MedStation simulation. Automated dispensing machines provide secure medication storage on patient care units, along with electronic tracking of the use of narcotics and other controlled drugs (Chapuis et al., 2015). Automated dispensing machines save nursing time by eliminating the need for manual end-of-shift narcotic counts in patient care units and also can reduce counting errors. The Pyxis MedStation automated medication dispensing system supports decentralized medication management with various features for safety and efficiency. The system features preventive mechanisms to avoid loading of the wrong medication
