Answer:
Summary Of Clinical Issue
With the high patient care demand, medication safety has gained increased attention due to high hospital admission and frequent premature deaths. In united states, CDC data suggested that more than 1500 individuals died due to overdose of opioid. In 2020, more than 15 million American encountered health issues due to high medication errors followed by 40000 premature deaths (Green, 2018). Medication errors are considered as the preventable errors that have drastic impacts on the patient health. The most common types of the medication errors are similar name medication, unauthorized use of the drug, lack of appropriate admission of the drugs, wrong dose of medication or administrating medication to the wrong patient (Alqenae, Steinke & Keers, 2020). Emerging literature highlighted that lack of awareness of appropriate medication dosages, lack of reviewing patient chart, high workload and frequent interruptions during medication formulation play crucial role in initiating medications errors. Dirik et al. (2018), suggested that while medication errors identification and reporting essential, lack of reminders and gap in drug knowledge, limited support from experienced professionals, increased workload are major reason behind poor medication error identification and mandatory reporting. The common impact of such medication errors are increased length of hospital stays, increased inaccurate medication administration, high length of hospital stays, increased workload and burnout amongst nursing professionals (Shahin, 2019). Hence, it is crucial to conduct literature review regarding medication errors to improve clinical practice.
PICOT Question:
PICOT question is defined as roadmap of clinical research that enable professionals to comply with clinical practice. The major components of PICOT question are patient, intervention, comparison, outcome and Time. As discussed above, medication errors are considered as the preventable errors that have drastic impacts on the patient health. In this case, the PICOT question is following:
In nurses having experience less than 2 years, Clinical decision system with early warning system is suitable for reducing medication errors compared to manual calculation of medication dose and administration within 3 months? The PICOT framework is following:
Population- The nurses having experience less than 2 years
Intervention- Clinical decision system with early warning system.
Comparison- manual calculation of medication dose and administration
Outcome- Low medication errors and low hospital stays with improved patient satisfaction.
While registered nurses often calculate the drug dose and develop appropriate drug formulation in standard care procedure, clinical decision-support system is one such technology that improve medical decision making with patient information and appropriate dose. The proper warning in this electronic system will enhance self confidence of the nursing professionals to administrate appropriate medication. Hence, the comparison of the effectiveness of two intervention will reduce prescription error and administration rates that contributed to the patient readmission and premature death.

How Does the Article Relate to the PICOT Question?
Yes because article focused on effectiveness of clinical decision support system to identify prescriptions errors and medication errors
Yes because article focused on effect of workload , medication errors and fatigue in a clinical decision support
Yes because article focused on effectiveness of Perioperative Medication-Related clinical decision support system in improving medication errors
Quantitative, Qualitative (How do you know?)
Quantitative study as researchers conducted cross sectional study by gathering 18-month period
Quantitative study as researchers conducted Retrospective cohort
Quantitative study as researchers conducted descriptive analysis
Purpose Statement
The aim of the study is to assess machine clinical decision support system to identify risk of medication errors using hybrid model
To assess the effect of the workload, fatigue alert on clinical decision support system
To assess the impact of CDS on warn of medication errors
Research Question
Is machine learning based clinical decision support system is effective to reduce medication errors
Is arising temporary clinical decision support systems able to provide fatigue alert, workload and cognitive overload
Is Medication-Related Clinical Decision Support is effective to improve medication doses, patient specific dose information
Outcome
To improve patient safety and accuracy of the prescription
improved patient safety, accuracy of medication administration
Improved workflow considerations
Setting
(Where did the study take place?)
large, private and nonprofit hospital in Paris
American health care setting
Massachusetts, United States
Sample
Patient data collected for 18-month
112 ambulatory primary care
35 participants for gaining patient feedback
Method
Researchers conducted cross sectional study by gathering 18-month period ( jan 2017- august 2018)
Collecting data from electronic health record data from January 2010 to June 2013
Collecting two groups and eight individual design feedback for 35 participants
Key Findings of the Study
The findings reported that it is accurate existing techniques because current process unable to address urgent need of improvement . in this case, this will enable professionals to detection medication errors through CDS alert system and priorities appropriate medication
It can provide alert from medication errors, wrong medication dose, , higher work complexity and low informational value
The finding suggested that it improve patient-specific dosing information as alert.
