Assignment: Topic - Pyxis Machine

For the final project in this course, you will develop a patient safety presentation that evaluates an information management strategy in place (ideally in your workplace) to determine if it improves patient safety and patient outcomes. To help you develop this presentation, you will submit three milestones throughout the course.

For this first milestone, choose your information technology and management topic. Describe your chosen topic and give your rationale for choosing this topic (i.e., why it is important to your workplace, how it improves patient safety, etc.). Submit your topic selection for feedback and approval from your instructor.

For Milestone One of your final project, you will choose a particular information technology and management strategy. Your submission for this step must address the following elements:

A. Clearly identify and describe your chosen information management or patient care technology topic (i.e., electronic medical records, CPOE, clinical alerts, medication dispensing units, etc.).

B. Provide a rationale for why you chose this particular topic. (For example, why it is important to your workplace? How does it improve patient
safety?) Describe the role your chosen strategy plays in patient safety or quality outcomes.

C. Support your rationale with 1-2 sources.

Guidelines for Submission: Your topic selection and rationale should be a minimum of 1-2 thorough paragraphs. Formatting should be 12-point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, and one-inch margins. References and in-text citations should use proper APA formatting.
