Question 1.interface sketch that is being evaluated: [pic] i) The system allows you to prescribe more than one drug to a single patient Justification: Relates to helpfulness - Doctors need to use their time effectively and the system requires tasks to be repeated then it will become a hindrance rather than a help. Question: Can you prescribe multiple drugs to a patient using this interface? ii) The system shows the user who the patient is that they are prescribing medication for. Justification: Relates to safety - If the wrong medication is prescribed to a patient then this could cause an adverse reaction. Question: iii) The system prevents dosage errors being made Justification: Relates to safety - too much or too little of a drug would prevent the medication from being effective or be potentially dangerous.
Even after multiple techniques that been implemented, such as, hand hygiene posters above sinks, there is non-compliance in hand hygiene by medical professionals. With the increase in hospital-acquired infections, it is important that medical professionals are complaint and follow standard protocols that have been implemented on hand hygiene. Decreasing the incidences of hospital-acquired infections will improve the quality of life of the patient as well as decrease the cost spent to treat infections. B. Quantifiable Measures. List and define all quantifiable measures used in this activity.
You know, parents used a square or rectangle of linen, cotton flannel, or stockinet that was folded into a rectangular shape and held in place with safety pins. Boy was I wrong! Both cloth and disposable diapers have come a long way since then. The first disposable diaper was an absorbent pad made from unbleached creped cellulose tissue which was held in place by rubber pants. Cloth was still used of course, but four years later in 1946, a woman named Marion Donovan, invented the "Boater".
I agree with the reductions in costs, even in a medical error. I liked the way they conducted the research and how they handled their findings, yet when they found that EMRs did not really prevent medical errors and to not increase patient safety, I had to disagree. If an EMR is correctly formatted and records are kept precisely and consistently, then the safety of a patient would have to increase. EMRs keep track of medication allergies, mental disorders, chronic illnesses, current and pat medications and procedures, all this would be a tool to correctly prescribe, treat and care for a patient, reducing medical errors just by having knowledge of their
Is it reasonable to provide an intravenous drug user with sterile needles in exchange for their dirty needles? Does it promote IV drug usage or does it in fact save lives?

The answer to whether or not to give these drug users a sterile needle is simple: these people deserve to be supplied with clean needles.
The new technology being researched by Bath-based Creo Medical promises to boost cleanliness by providing swift, thorough, hand sterilization without the need for scrubbing with soaps and gels. The new technology could make a dramatic difference to the fight against infection-and the Government's SBRI (Small Business Research Initiative) competition for new ideas and technologies is ensuring it gets every chance to succeed. Hospital chiefs face a daily battle to improve hygiene standards, with superbugs like MRSA and c. difficile always on the radar. The Non-Thermal Plasma Hand Sterilization System is being developed with Government funding and the support of the Technology Strategy Board in a bid to provide a new,
Around the 1830’s Men began wearing hair pieces and hats to conceal baldness. Antiperspirants and deodorants came on the scene in the 1890’s, first with the use of the irritating ingredient aluminum chloride but was then replaced in the 1940’s with aluminum chlorohydrate. Also in the 1800’s, homemade shaving soaps and aftershave were made from cherry laurel water, stemming from the first safety razor patent in 1880 invented by the Kamfe brothers. But it was King Camp Gillette and William Nickerson, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineer design the first T-razor with disposable blades. In 1903, Gillette sold only 51 razors and 168 blades, but in 1904, after a marketing campaign he sold 90,000 razors and 123,000 blades.
