Poster Presentation Students: This Project Will Help You

Poster Presentation Students This project will allow you to formulate and hypothetically develop your own research project

The purpose of this project is for the student to follow all of the different steps in a research project on an already published article and presented as a poster presentation. A poster session or poster presentation is the presentation of research information by an individual or representatives of research teams at a congress or conference with an academic or professional focus. The work is usually peer reviewed. Poster sessions are particularly prominent at scientific conferences such as medical congresses. Students will select the same article from week 7 and create a poster presentation that include the below information: I upload a template for the poster The outline of the poster should include the following tabs (minimum requirements) Abstract Outline: -Title of Project -Problem Statement: what is the problem that needs fixing? -Purpose of the Project -Research Question(s) -Hypothesis -Methodology (Qualitative vs. Quantitative) -Steps in implementing your project -Limitations Results (Pretend results) -Conclusion -References I have attached an example of a poster presentation for guidance.

Title of Project: Evaluating the Impact of a Targeted Educational Intervention on Prescribing Errors and Clinician Perceptions of EHR Usability in Primary Care

Problem Statement: Despite the widespread adoption of electronic health records (EHR), medication prescribing errors remain a significant challenge in primary care settings. Resistance among clinicians to EHR utilization and perceived usability issues further impede the full realization of EHR benefits, potentially risking patient safety and care quality.

Purpose of the Project: This research aims to assess whether a targeted educational program can improve primary care practitioners' perceptions of EHR usability and reduce medication errors associated with EHR. The study explores how education influences clinicians' engagement with EHR systems, with the goal of enhancing safety and efficiency in prescribing practices.

Research Questions:

  • Q1: How does the implementation of an educational program influence perceptions of EHR usability among primary care practitioners?
  • Q2: Does education reduce the incidence of prescription medication errors in the primary care setting?

Hypothesis: The implementation of an educational intervention will significantly improve practitioners' perceptions of EHR usability and reduce medication error rates.

Methodology: This project adopts a quantitative, quasi-experimental design utilizing pre- and post-intervention data. The sample consists of eight primary care clinicians from a Southeastern US medical practice. Data collection involves surveys measuring perceptions via Likert scale items and reports of medication errors. Data analysis employs paired t-tests for errors and Wilcoxon signed ranks tests for perception scores, analyzed through SPSS software.

Steps in Implementing the Project:

  1. Selection of participants and baseline data collection (pre-intervention surveys and error reports)
  2. Development and delivery of a targeted educational program focusing on EHR usability and safe prescribing
  3. Post-intervention data collection after four weeks, repeating surveys and error report analysis
  4. Data analysis and interpretation to determine changes in perceptions and error rates

Limitations: The small sample size (n=8) limits generalizability; the short duration (4 weeks) restricts observation of long-term effects; lack of a control group; potential bias due to self-reporting and reporting errors within the clinic.

Results (Pretend Results): The survey revealed significant improvements in perceptions, with average Likert scores increasing across items related to usability and clinical effectiveness (p0.05). These findings suggest that while educational programs can enhance perceptions, their impact on error reduction within a short timeframe remains unclear.

Conclusion: The study demonstrates that targeted educational interventions can positively influence clinicians' perceptions of EHR usability, which may promote greater engagement with health IT systems. However, achieving measurable reductions in prescribing errors may require more comprehensive approaches, longer follow-up, and larger samples. Implementing ongoing training and system optimization may be necessary for significant safety improvements in primary care.
