Clinical Requirement:

Your organization has made it a priority that safety is taken into consideration when making clinical decisions. There is an opportunity to find an informatics or technology solution to improve the safety and overall well-being of patients. Select an information technology you believe will benefit your organization. If your organization is currently using a similar product, you will compare the new technology to the one being used right now. For example, you have selected Epic for the electronic health record because your organization is currently using Meditech, which is outdated. In this case, you will compare Epic to Meditech. If you have selected a technology your organization is not currently using, you will need to locate another one that is commercially equivalent to the one you selected. For example, your organization does not use integrated vital sign machines but you believe they will provide a significant benefit to the organization and you have selected Philips. You will need to locate another integrated vital sign machine, such as Vital Link to compare to. Determine what 5 criteria are most important for evaluating the product, safety being foremost. Other possible criteria might be ease of use, clarity, time, etc. Examine the 2 products and compare and contrast their strengths and weaknesses. Evaluate the 2 products using the 5 criteria you determined to be the most important. Create a 15- to 20-slide presentation with detailed speaker notes in which you: Provide a detailed description of the 2 products and include your rationale for selecting one brand over the others. Explain how the selected products could mitigate the administrative or clinical problem. Present the result of your product evaluation. Your product evaluation should answer the following required questions: What are the strengths and weaknesses of each product? How does each product compare when assessed on the 5 criteria you determined to be most important? What clinical outcomes are associated with each product? Is there evidence to support that the product is effective and safe? Will the product integrate easily with your hospital's existing systems? Does the product require any special training or expertise to use? Can the product scale to meet the needs of your hospital as it grows? Which product would be best for your organization? Describe two ways you would implement the product. Describe two evaluation methods. Address any relevant regulatory, legal, or ethical issues as a result of using the product. Include a minimum of 3 peer-reviewed sources. The product websites count toward this. Cite your sources according to APA guidelines.
