| Research Questions (Qualitative)/Hypothesis (Quantitative)
|
Hypothesis: Medication reconciliation is a multi-professional process for the prevention of medication discrepancies. | No research questions/hypothesis | Null | Null |
| Purposes/Aim of Study | To evaluate the available electronic medication reconciliation (eMedRec) tools and their effect on unintended discrepancies that occur in hospital institutions | 1. Identify system-related medication errors or workflow blocks that were the target of eMM system updates
2. Describe and classify the system enhancements made to target these risks |
To map the extent, range, and nature of research on the effectiveness, level of use, and perceptions about electronic medication administration records (eMARs) in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) | Summarize lessons learned from primary care professionals involved in a pioneering pilot project in Switzerland for the system wide implementation of shared electronic medication plans. |
| Design (Type of Quantitative, or Type of Qualitative)
|
Meta-analysis | Retrospective study | Scoping review of quantitative and qualitative literature. | Formative action research study. |
| Setting/Sample
|
Meta-analysis, 13 articles included | Systematic analysis | Literature review | Longitudinal study |
| Methods: Intervention/Instruments
|
Methodological quality was assessed using the nine standard criteria of Cochrane Effective Practice and Organization of Care Review Group (EPOC) | 147 individual changes, were made to the eMM system over the 4-year period | Systematically searched MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, ProQuest, and the Cochrane Library. | Group interviews |
| Analysis
|
Relative risk and significance difference | Descriptive analysis (use of percentages) | Level of significance analysis | Descriptive analysis |
| Key Findings
|
Electronic Medical Reconciliation reduces the incidence of medication with unintended discrepancies and improves medication safety. | Electronic Medication Management (eMM) reduces medication errors and optimize workflows | Evidence linking electronic Medication Administration Records (eMAR) in reducing errors is weak. | Participants considered medication plan management, digitalized or not, a core element of good clinical practice |
| Recommendations
|
Hospitals adopt electronic medication to reduce ADEs | Hospital organizations can adopt eMM to enhance patient safety and operational efficiency | More research need to be conducted to determine the effectiveness of electronic medication in reducing ADEs | Digitalization is a key element of transforming hospital records |
| Explanation of How the Article Supports EBP/Capstone Project
|
It identifies the best approach that can reduce ADES between educational programs and electronic medication. | Shows that electronic Medication Management is the best bet for reducing ADEs | The article informs the need for conducting more robust research on the efficacy of electronic medication in reducing ADEs. | More research should be done to assess the efficacy of electronic records. |

| Research Questions (Qualitative)/Hypothesis (Quantitative)
|
What are intensive care nurses’ experiences with the new electronic medication administration record?
|
No research question and hypothesis | Null | Can a consumer-targeted, pharmacist-led educational intervention reduce prescriptions for inappropriate medication among community-dwelling older adults? |
| Purposes/Aim of Study | To explore the experiences of Registered Nurses who administered medications to patients using the electronic medication administration record. | To assess the impact of various strategies to improve ADR reporting published in the last decade and compare this with the strategies identified in a previous systematic review | To explore and compare patient and clinician attitudes towards an integrated e-prescribing and dispensing system | o compare the effectiveness of a consumer-targeted, pharmacist-led educational intervention vs usual care on discontinuation of inappropriate medication among community-dwelling older adults. |
| Design (Type of Quantitative, or Type of Qualitative)
|
Qualitative descriptive exploratory approach | Systematic review | A cross-sectional survey | A cluster randomized clinical trial |
| Setting/Sample
|
Five participants | 10,021 articles selected, 13 articles included | Australian metropolitan teaching hospital | Quebec, Canada |
| Methods: Intervention/Instruments
|
Focus group, observation | MEDLINE and EMBASE databases | Survey | andomization occurred at the pharmacy level, with 34 pharmacies randomized to the intervention group (248 patients) and 35 to the control group (241 patients) |
| Analysis
|
Thematic analysis | Descriptive analysis | Descriptive analysis- percentages | Descriptive and inferential statistics |
| Key Findings
|
eMAR reduced time nurse spent with patients | Electronic method was found to be a better approach when reporting adverse drug reactions compared to educational method | The majority of patients and clinicians reported a positive impact of e-prescribing on safety and efficiency | A pharmacist-led educational intervention compared with usual care resulted in greater discontinuation of prescriptions for inappropriate medication after 6 months |
| Recommendations
|
More research needed on the effects of using eMAR to patients and healthcare providers. | More research needed to find the robustness of each method | Hospitals should implement e-prescribing | More research needed to establish the effectiveness of educational programs in reducing ADEs |
| Explanation of How the Article Supports EBP/Capstone
|
Electronic medication has the potential to increase patient safety | The article directly compares the effectiveness of educational programs and electronic records which are included in the PICOT question. | The study adds to the evidence that electronic medication is the best approach to reduce ADEs | The study contributes to the topic because educational program for nurses was found to be effective in dealing with ADEs. |
