Findings
Findings: Nurses just as non-nursing Medication Technicians with the same training were just as likely to have medication errors. However in order to be successful in medication administration is to continue with ongoing training and evaluate each incident. With the automated multi-dose packaging and dispensing system, capable of accommodating 14- or 30-day cycle filling this may as well cause increase medication administration (Buerger 1998).
Review of Evidence and Synthesis of Literature
Statistics
For some years, medication errors have had a metric system that medical facilities have been used to measure and benchmarked its standards for errors in medication administration. The tool mostly used by nursing homes and assisted living is MyInterview. This national research data bank that evaluates …show more content…
The information provided offer provider information to evaluate to improve the delivery of care. This system allows facilities to place a standard for patient for others to follow and benchmark what and where facilities fall below the standards. The nursing homes and assisted living facilities have set variable to not fall below to be considered okay. Although the information is being compiled and uniquely evaluated, there has not been any movement to mandate a change for either a better medication system or a process for non-licensed vs licensed staff members’ standardization for medication administration errors (The National Research Report, 2014).
