Paper For Above instruction

The development of effective scientific posters plays a crucial role in disseminating nursing research and practice improvements. A well-designed poster attracts attention, effectively communicates complex information, and encourages networking opportunities. This paper discusses a comprehensive approach to creating impactful nursing posters, emphasizing clarity, organization, and evidence-based content.

Significance and Background: The increasing complexity of healthcare and nursing practices necessitates effective communication channels such as posters. According to Briggs (2009), visual displays should be concise, readable, and visually engaging to promote understanding. Current statistics indicate that scientific conferences and professional meetings allocate significant time and resources to poster presentations, underscoring their importance in professional development. Peer-reviewed articles, such as those by Halligan (2008), support the idea that posters are valuable evidence tools. In my clinical setting, poster presentations are integral to ongoing education, fostering evidence-based practice and innovation.

PICO-t Framework: The problem addressed involves medication errors among hospitalized elderly patients (Problem). The population includes elderly patients aged 65 and older in a hospital setting. The intervention involves implementing a bedside medication verification system, with a comparison to traditional medication administration practices. Expected outcomes include reduction in medication errors, improved patient safety, and enhanced staff efficiency over a three-month period, supported by evidence from Moore et al. (2001).

Aims of the Study: The short-term goal is to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of the bedside medication verification system in reducing medication errors. The long-term goal is to establish a sustainable practice model that improves overall medication safety and enhances staff awareness about medication safety protocols, aligning with recommendations by Sherman (2011).

Design and Methods: Based on peer-reviewed literature by Keely (2004) and others, the study adopts a quasi-experimental design, utilizing pre- and post-intervention data collection to measure medication error rates. Data will be analyzed quantitatively to assess the impact of the intervention on error reduction.

Proposed Interventions: The primary intervention is the deployment of bedside medication verification technology integrated with electronic health records. Staff training sessions will be conducted to ensure proper usage. To determine effectiveness, error rates before and after implementation will be compared, supported by evidence from Blakesley & Brizee (2008).

Expected Results and Outcomes: Anticipated outcomes include a significant decrease in medication errors, increased staff satisfaction, and improved patient safety indicators. These outcomes are consistent with findings by Briggs (2009) and Halligan (2008), emphasizing the importance of technology and training in safe medication practices.

Conclusions: The project has highlighted the importance of integrating evidence-based interventions in clinical practice to reduce errors. Lessons learned include the need for comprehensive staff training and ongoing evaluation. The project benefits the clinical setting by fostering a culture of safety and continuous improvement, supporting existing literature by Sherman (2011).

Implications to Practice: Implementing bedside verification aligns with Institute for Healthcare Improvement and national patient safety goals. It contributes to safer nursing care, promotes adherence to safety protocols, and serves as a foundation for further quality improvement projects, consistent with the standards outlined by Keely (2004).
