The document discusses the benefits of electronic medication management (EMM) systems in care homes. It notes that medication errors occur in 8.4% of administration events in care homes. EMM systems can reduce errors by enforcing the six rights of administration and providing alerts. EMM also increases efficiency by eliminating paperwork, enhances governance through data analytics, and streamlines communication between care homes and pharmacies. Overall, EMM improves safety, reduces pressure on staff, and leads to better resident outcomes and experiences.

Write why all medical systems be mandated to use electronic health records up...intel-writers.com
Mandating the use of electronic health records
(EHRs) across all medical systems has numerous benefits and is crucial for advancing healthcare in today’s digital age. Here are several reasons why implementing EHRs as a universal standard is important:
Enhanced Patient Care: Electronic health records allow for comprehensive and readily accessible patient information. With EHRs, healthcare providers have instant access to medical histories, test results, medications, allergies, and treatment plans. This facilitates more accurate and coordinated care, enabling healthcare professionals to make informed decisions and provide timely interventions.
Improved Patient Safety: EHRs contribute to enhanced patient safety by reducing errors and minimizing the potential for miscommunication. The use of standardized electronic formats for recording and transmitting information reduces the risk of illegible handwriting, misplaced paper records, and lost or incomplete documentation. EHRs also support alerts and reminders for medication interactions, allergies, and preventive care, helping healthcare providers deliver safer and more effective treatments.
Efficient Information Exchange: Electronic health records enable seamless sharing and exchange of patient information among different healthcare providers, clinics, hospitals, and healthcare systems. This improves care coordination, particularly during transitions of care, such as referrals or hospital admissions. The ability to quickly access and transmit patient data promotes timely decision-making and eliminates the need for redundant tests or procedures.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

From Daily Decisions to Bottom Line: Connecting Product Work to Revenue by VP...
How do your medication management processes weigh up?
1.
2. Errors occur on 8.4% of medication administration events
This would mean:
1 x resident administered medication 3 x a day = 84%
chance of receiving a medication administrator error every
week and a 99.9% chance every month
3.
4. In Managing and Administering Medication in Care
Homes for Older People
It is suggested care home residents are prescribed an
average of 7-8medications per person per day
Residents in care homes are commonly prescribed
multiple medications at the same
time, given their complex health conditions
5.
6. Now consider that the primary tools
being used by the majority of care
home providers to manage their
residents’ medications still revolve
around paper-based systems with
significant limitations
7. It becomes very challenging to provide the
highest levels of safe and quality
care, while using a manual approach to
medication management
8. The medication management process within
a care homes is extremely complex
Providers are responsible for
receiving, administering and documenting
large volumes of medications on a daily basis
This process draws on information from
a range of sources and requires
involvement from numerous internal and
external healthcare professionals
9. Strengthening the
partnerships between the
doctors, pharmacies and
care homes facilities
Streamlining the workflows that support
medication administration in care homes
15. Not only do these
distractions negatively
impact staff
productivity, they can also
lead to serious
compliance risks
including signature
omissions
Typically, the process of
administering medications
to residents takes place in
the midst of a
lengthy, demanding and
disrupted medication round
16. Configurations prevent staff from proceeding with
medication administration until a signature has been
recorded
Intuitive alerts prompt staff to log onto a
mobile device at the point of medication
administration, ensuring that the medications
to be administered within a given time period
are electronically tagged with a date, time and
signature
Eliminating signature omissions is a critical part of
maintaining compliance
It can be achieved INSTANTLY with the implementation of an EMM system
17. Right documentation
Right resident
Right medication
Right route
Right dose
Right time
R’s
These safety alerts further support accreditation
requirements by enforcing the six R’s of correct
medication administration:
18. Staff are prompted to enter the reason
for why the PRN was administered
In instances where EMM integrates with
an electronic clinical system, this
information is automatically recorded within
a progress note to ensure more effective
evaluation of PRN medications
EMM also provides further safeguarding against
the compliance risks associated with the
administration of PRN ‘as required’ medications
20. This process is not only
cumbersome, but can easily increase
the opportunity for discrepancies and
errors
21. Centralised, electronic medication administration
records (eMAR) also ensure staff focus on only the
specific medications due to be administered within
a given time period
EMM systems offer a tangible boost to efficiency
and productivity by saving staff from manually
sorting through paper-based medication records to
determine what medication is due at what time
23. Traditional medication management
processes often requires Registered or
Enrolled Nurses (RN) to manage hundreds, if
not thousands, of medications for residents
EMM reduces the pressure of these
tasks by providing a common electronic
record that can be accessed by all
authorised staff within a care home
26. This helps care home providers to ensure that their
organisation’s medication administration processes and
records are always completed to the highest standard
of quality
27. Management can easily and quickly obtain access to
data in real-time including medications
administered, medications missed, PRNs and more
With functionality to electronically capture data and
centralise this information, EMM also increases
visibility of medication management processes
throughout an entire organisation
This electronic data can also be analysed to improve
decision making and resident health outcomes
29. CHUM study found 50% of all communication-
related medication errors occurred between the
care home and the pharmacy
EMM systems streamline the documentation
requirements of medication management by
facilitating electronic communication with the
pharmacy
32. The entire social care sector faces challenges
with recruiting and retaining qualified staff
These challenges are compounding with a shrinking
workforce, and increasing workloads for those who
remain in the industry
35. Staff are freed from the intensive
documentation and administrative duties and
given more time to focus on providing safe
and high quality care
36.
37. When implemented correctly, electronic
systems that provide critical clinical and
medication information at the point of care play
a critical role in:
Reducing system-wide
inefficiencies, compliance risks and
pressure on staff
Improving resident safety
