Redesigning the Medication Administration Workflow using Barcode Medication Administration (BCMA)

Objective

Identify a healthcare practice process that could be improved through a technology integration or describe a technology that has been or could be incorporated into a graduate-level scholarly project.

Purpose

A gap analysis identifies the difference between the current state and the desired future state of a process or practice. This analysis clarifies what changes are needed to achieve improvement.

Instructions

Select a Topic Use the workflow topic you selected in Module 3. You examined a workflow process that needed improvement and explored a technology that could address the gap. Continue with that same topic for this assignment.
