Abstract EN
This paper presents findings of an observational study of the Registered Nurse (RN) Medication Administration Process (MAP) conducted on two comparable medical units in a large urban tertiary care medical center in Columbia, South Carolina.
A total of 305 individual MAP observations were recorded over a 6-week period with an average of 5 MAP observations per RN participant for both clinical units.
A key MAP variation was identified in terms of unbundled versus bundled MAP performance.
In the unbundled workflow, an RN engages in the MAP by performing only MAP tasks during a care episode.
In the bundled workflow, an RN completes medication administration along with other patient care responsibilities during the care episode.
Using a discrete-event simulation model, this paper addresses the difference between unbundled and bundled workflow and their effects on simulated redesign interventions.
