Response to Patrice Post
Every year thousands of patients are dying due to unsafe care and medical errors. However, technology is the solution for providing safety to patients and provide help to the nursing department in diagnosing a disease. The leading cause of deaths which is being observed is usually due to the wrong medication provided to the patients. Sometimes patients were also given extra doses of medicine which could be life-threatening to them. However, an IT related software “eMAR” which is a medication administration system used for facilitating nurses to provide safe medication to the patients. This software also saves the time spent on medication and reduces the chance of medical errors. However, IT developers don’t have enough detail information about medication, and sometimes they are not able to provide the correct assistance to nurses. This is due to data is not entered correctly into the system or the information which they have used for providing medication is incomplete and missing.
It is the responsibility of nurses to provide the right medication to the patients, but sometimes they were not able to diagnose a disease correctly because they feel conscious and use the wrong judgement when managing high-risk medications. Beneficence is a nursing model which is the act of doing good for patients and nonmaleficence is a nursing model which explain that the action may seem harmful, but it will give benefit which overcomes the risk. (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2014). Nurses are also responsible for ensuring that the patient and their family should be aware of the risks and benefits of medications. Moreover, Technology can also provide patients and their family educational information on medicines. It has also provided ways to engage with patients and families easily and helped in identifying the errors before they affect the patients (Salyer, 2014).
