Project Proposal

Abbey Phillips

Critique Slide 18/10

• The cover slide is very to the point, which is good, however the title of your project proposal might make it more explanatory. Also, in general, a background would spice up the slides.

Electronic Prescribing• Electronic Prescribing is a safer, more efficient way of treating patients,

rather than the original hand written scripts. There are programs that are specially designed to help the patient, physician, and pharmacist that results in a safe, easier way to prescribe medicines. Electronic scripts interest me by the potential they have to reduce patient mortalities from handwriting mistakes. This method could help lower the pharmacy callbacks and rejected handwritten scripts. This could also reduce the risks of combining drugs that result in a mortality. Electronic prescribing keeps allergy and current medication lists up-to-date, which can help physicians prescribe medications more efficiently.

Critique Slide 210/10

• This slide is very good. It goes into good detail with the pro’s and con’s of your project. However, your pro’s and con’s are also listed on the next two slides. So perhaps you can add the pro’s and con’s onto one slide, and then, as your last slide, add information such as facts and figures to support that e-scripts are the way to go.

Pros to E-scribing

• Increased patient safety• Better communication between the Pharmacist and Physician• Up-to-date records

Cons to E-Scribing

• Initially slower that hand written scripts• Difficulties with software• Not standardized yet

Critique Slides 3&49/10 , 9/10

• As mentioned above, these pro’s and con’s, although very useful and relevant to the project, are pretty much listed already in your initial paragraph. A slide of studies showing how e-scripts actually changed providers’ work productivity and efficiently would be a good addition for a finishing slide.

Slides 3&4: Redesigned Pro’s & Con’s:

Pro’s: • Increased patient safety

•Better communication between the Pharmacist and Physician

• Up-to-date records

Con’s:• Initially slower that hand written

scripts

• Difficulties with software

• Not standardized yet

This way, the pro’s and con’s and be weighed against each other easily, allowing the reader to decide whether or not they agree that e-scripts are the way to go.

Overall:
