| 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)?<br>Narrative Description:<br>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<br>· Breakfast items for training sessions: $300<br>· Projector: Provided by hospital<br>· Nurse time: Covered by hospital administration<br>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<br>· Access to nurses for training<br>· Training materials and space<br>· eMAR system access<br>· 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<br>· Improved patient safety culture<br>· Better nurse competency in medication administration<br>· 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<br>· Ongoing competency assessments<br>· Regular refresher courses<br>· Continued use of double-check system and eMAR |
| How will your project be evaluated? | · Pre- and post-training competency tests<br>· Tracking medication error rates before and after intervention<br>· Compliance audits for double-check system<br>· eMAR utilization metrics |
| Are there any risks associated with the project? | · Nurse resistance to change<br>· Time constraints for training participation<br>· Difficulty maintaining new practices long-term |
