University of Washington Medicine
This was an enterprise wide curriculum developed for two hospitals in the UW system that were implementing a new way of tracking the administration of medicine to patients. The new system uses barcodes on the medication and altered the software that nurses were used to using. I worked with workflow analysts and pharmacists that developed new procedures. This was new component of a Electronic Health Record (EHR) system that was already in place manufactured by Cerner Inc. Teaming up with a curriculum developer we created clinically valid exercises that reinforced positive workflow for the target audience. I developed a series of job aids to assist the nurses and respiratory therapists that reinforced the learning that took place during the ILT.
