Abstract
Many healthcare facilities implement technology to reduce medication errors. Nursing schools are exploring implementing similar technology to promote best practice. Our institution developed a quality improvement project to evaluate the integration of similar technology into pre-licensure curriculum. Our quality improvement project examined using a simulated electronic medical record (EMR) and a barcode medication administration (BCMA) system in pre-licensure nursing curriculum. In our initial project, 96second-semester BSN students participated in a skill check off using the system. Student perception was positive, 96% of respondents stated the system increased realism, and 94% indicated improved clinical preparedness. Implementing this system was a positive experience which enriched our pre-licensure curriculum.
