Project Goals
The goals for this proposal are to improve patient safety, streamline the current
workflow, reduce costs over the long term, and to develop improvement cycles for future
implementation of ancillary departments. Metrics to determine the value of these goals
are:
1. Fewer errors in the medical records. Crosschecks are imbedded in the
programming to alert users to possible errors in documentation, and to when
medications are due to be delivered.
2. Improved access to data is enhanced via documentation that is available to all
authorized healthcare personnel.
3. Patient and provider satisfaction is increased due to availability of information
to both interested parties.
4. There is diversity in a single investment. Changing to the barcoding program
will allow integration of EHR, laboratory, radiology, referral systems, dietary,

Other items included in the budget are software version updates that will take
place every 33 months. Software maintenance and hardware maintenance will have a
combined yearly allotment of $30,187.80. All items such as blank printable wristbands
and ink for the printers are included in the hardware maintenance.
The committee understands that initially the cost of implementation is large, but
the return of investment will prove that the barcoding system is a much-needed
investment. In order to determine a positive return of investment the committee will take
a look at patient satisfaction surveys as well as surveys from CMH staff. Ideally the
To address the issue of BCMA network failure, special procedures will be developed. An
online help-desk system will be established to ensure timely communication between
nursing, pharmacy, IT, and the project management team. The issues such as unscannable
medications, hardware failure, or system enhancement requests will be addressed and
resolved timely. (Agarwal & Glasser, 2009)
