The impact of a novel medication scanner on administration errors in the hospital setting: a before and after feasibility study.

Objective: The medication administration process is complex and consequently prone to errors. Closed Loop Medication Administration solutions aim to improve patient safety. We assessed the impact of a novel medication scanning device (MedEye) on the rate of medication administration errors in a large UK Hospital.

Eliciting willingness-to-pay to prevent hospital medication administration errors in the UK: a contingent valuation survey.

Unlabelled: Medication errors are common in hospitals. These errors can result in adverse drug events (ADEs), which can reduce the health and well-being of patients', and their relatives and caregivers. Interventions have been developed to reduce medication errors, including those that occur at the administration stage.

Medication errors and adverse drug events in a UK hospital during the optimisation of electronic prescriptions: a prospective observational study.

Background: WHO's Third Global Patient Safety Challenge, Medication Without Harm, focused on reducing the substantial burden of iatrogenic harm associated with medications by 50% in the next 5 years. We aimed to assess whether the number and type of medication errors changed as an electronic prescribing system was optimised over time in a UK hospital.

Methods: We did a prospective observational study at a tertiary-care teaching hospital.

Relationship between labour force satisfaction, wages and retention within the UK National Health Service: a systematic review of the literature.

Objectives: A systematic review was undertaken to understand the nature of the relationship between the UK National Health Service (NHS) labour force and satisfaction, retention and wages.

Design: Narrative systematic review.

Data Sources: The literature was searched using seven databases in January 2020: MEDLINE (1996-present), the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL via EBSCO) (1984-present), Embase (1996-present), PsycINFO (1987-present), ProQuest (1996-present), Scopus (all years) and Cochrane library (all years).

A systematic review of the impact of health information technology on nurses' time.

Objective: Nursing time represents one of the highest costs for most health services. We conducted a systematic review of the literature on the impact of health information technology on nurses' time.

Materials And Methods: We followed PRISMA guidelines and searched 6 large databases for relevant articles published between Jan 2004 and December 2019.

Improving medication-related clinical decision support.

Purpose: Current uses of medication-related clinical decision support (CDS) and recommendations for improving these systems are reviewed.

Summary: Using a systematic approach, articles published from 2007 through 2014 were identified in MEDLINE and EMBASE using MeSH terms and keywords relating to the 5 basic medication-related CDS functionalities. A total of 156 full-text articles and 28 conference abstracts were reviewed across each of the 5 areas: drug-drug interaction (DDI) checks ( = 78), drug allergy checks ( = 20), drug dose support ( = 55), drug duplication checks ( = 11), and drug formulary support ( = 20).
