Select the workflow diagram from the right that you believe is a more realistic representation of the nursing role as related to order entry and medication administration in acute care.
Yes!
This was the actual workflow of the CPOE system. As you can see, the system work process was far from the originally conceptualized workflow and much less linear than originally planned. Further, the nursing role was commonly the initiation point of the medication order entry, not the provider.
Not Quite!
While this workflow probably occurs in real life, it was not the actual workflow that was uncovered in the study. As a hint, medication order are commonly initiated by nurses, especially in CPOE enabled environments.
Almost!
In this version of the workflow, nurses and physicians are positioned both as the initiator of medication orders. What is missing from this workflow is the fluidity that commonly occurs in acute care settings where processes sometimes do not follow strict, linear actions.
