Competing needs
One of the main competing need impacting technological interruptions is the urge to avoid medication errors by providing patients with high-quality healthcare. The measures to avoid such medication errors turn out to be costly to the hospital (Kelly & Porr, 2018). Technological interruptions have resulted in the augmentation and replacement of drugs with better treatment equipment and drugs. Evidence-based research indicates that such equipment enhances the recovery process of patients and are more effective as compared to the previously used drugs. Therefore, hospitals have to adopt the use of new drugs and equipment to ensure that they provide quality care to the patients. In addition, the use of some of the new technological equipment such as the Echo Pixel's 3D among others has turned out to be challenging to use. The physicians are bound to cause medication errors due to the lack of sufficient knowledge on how to use the equipment. In turn, the hospital will be required to offer training on how to use them. Physicians need to avoid medication errors and provide quality healthcare to the patients, yet the purchase and training provided in regard to the use of the equipment could be costly.
The need to implement the nursing staffing ratio would require the hospital to spend in hiring more nurses. At the same time, the hospital is required to purchase new technological equipment that would aid in the provision of quality healthcare to the patients. The implementation of a staffing ratio is equally important since it would reduce the chances of mandatory overtime and the delays experienced due to a huge number of patients. Given the fact that both needs are necessary for the hospital, then it becomes a challenge to adopt new technological changes.
Policy to influence technological interruption
Our organization has a policy regarding the safety and privacy of the patient's health records. After the implementation of the GetWellNetwork, the patient's healthcare information is no longer left lying in books whereby anyone can access. The new electronic record-keeping system is secure, and patients do not have to worry about their medical information being accessed by a third party. The application is secured with passwords and can only be accessed by the authorized personnel. However, in the case of a breach of security, then the patient's health information could be leaked to third parties. In such a case, the hospital will be held liable. As well, in a situation whereby information has been accessed by a third party, it is easy to identify the person responsible for the leak. According to this policy, every personnel is expected to observe all the necessary protocols to safeguard the patient's information. Therefore, this policy will influence technological interruptions by providing a secure platform whereby the hospital can store health records. The use of blockchain applications has been on the rise. For instance, insurance companies use such applications to liaise with hospitals in regard to making payments. Technological advancements would make such processes easy as compared to the manual rec...
