You are the charge nurse of a medical-surgical unit. Recently, your hospital implemented Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA) to reduce medical errors and promote safety. You learn that some nurses are overriding the system. Some RNs do not awaken the patients to scan their barcodes before administering an IV push medication and scan the chart label instead. Some RNs have overridden the barcode warning, assuming that it was a technological glitch. Other RNs are charting that medications were given when they have been left at the bedside. Your staff members state that they understand that BCMA reduces errors, but it is more time consuming and there are equipment issues.(10 points) List 3 driving factors which would facilitate this change moving forward and 3 restraining factors which might be hindering the change.(10 points) Describe 3 strategies you could employ now to promote Lewin’s refreezing stage of the new BCMA system.
