The Impact of Technology on Improving Patient Safety in the Clinical Setting: A Systematic Review

Project Overview

Patient safety is a critical aspect of healthcare delivery, and advancements in technology have the potential to greatly improve the safety of patients in clinical settings. The project focuses on conducting a systematic review to analyze the impact of various technologies on enhancing patient safety in healthcare environments.

Research Objectives:

Examine the role of technology in reducing medication errors in clinical practice.
Investigate the use of electronic health records (EHRs) in improving communication and coordination among healthcare providers for better patient outcomes.
Assess the effectiveness of barcode medication administration (BCMA) systems in preventing medication administration errors.
Explore the implementation of clinical decision support systems (CDSS) to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
Evaluate the impact of telemedicine and remote monitoring technologies on patient safety and quality of care.

Methodology:

The systematic review will involve comprehensive searches of electronic databases, including PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library, to identify relevant studies on the impact of technology on patient safety within clinical settings. Inclusion criteria will focus on studies published in the last decade, written in English, and reporting on technological interventions in healthcare environments.

Data extraction will be conducted to capture key information such as study design, interventions used, outcomes measured, and implications for patient safety. Quality assessments will be performed to evaluate the rigor of the included studies and potential biases that may impact the validity of the findings.

Expected Outcomes:

The systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive synthesis of the current evidence on the impact of technology on improving patient safety in clinical settings. The findings will contribute to a greater understanding of the effectiveness of various technological interventions in enhancing patient outcomes and reducing adverse events.

Ultimately, this project seeks to inform healthcare providers, policymakers, and technology developers about the potential benefits of incorporating innovative technologies to enhance patient safety and quality of care in clinical practice.
