Summary
Nursing students reported that using a simulated electronic medical record (EMR) and barcode medication administration (BCMA) system improved their clinical preparedness and learning realism.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Health Informatics
- Patient Safety Technology
Background:
- Healthcare facilities utilize technology to minimize medication errors.
- Nursing education programs are exploring technology integration to foster best practices.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the integration of simulated electronic medical record (EMR) and barcode medication administration (BCMA) systems into pre-licensure nursing curriculum.
- To assess the impact of this technology on nursing students' clinical preparedness and learning experience.
Main Methods:
- A quality improvement project was conducted involving pre-licensure nursing students.
- A simulated electronic medical record (EMR) and barcode medication administration (BCMA) system were utilized.
- 96 second-semester BSN students participated in a skills check-off using the integrated system.
Main Results:
- Student perception of the integrated system was overwhelmingly positive.
- 96% of students reported that the system enhanced the realism of their training.
- 94% of students indicated that the system improved their clinical preparedness.
Conclusions:
- The integration of simulated EMR and BCMA systems positively enriched the pre-licensure nursing curriculum.
- This technology serves as a valuable tool for enhancing nursing education and preparing future nurses for practice.
