Readiness in Transforming Healthcare

Introduction
Change in management is a major factor in the healthcare sector. Change makes most of the

health sector professionals obliged to their duties by maintaining their expertise in their specialized

fields. Thus, it is primarily managed by the professionals in the various departments in allocating

responsibilities to the different people. In any organization, change has to occur despite how it

would be rolled out to the other colleagues at the workplace. It must be maintained by supporting

the institution in achieving the set goals and objectives.

Change in the healthcare industry could only be managed when every employee in every

department becomes ready to embrace the new rollout due to the advancements made at the

institution of the upgrade made in the various departments. The support of the employees will

make the transition positive, and their active participation in the process would make the health

care institution realize quality service from the employees. The change also helps in setting the

pace for the industry in a positive way through revenue generation. However, it takes time for the

entire organization members to adapt to the new change that has been rolled to them by the

management.

Proper change through the management to the employees in the organization requires a

strategic evaluation that would enable all the members to be transformed into the new form of

leadership or management is emphasized. Change further could be in terms of the technological

advancement of the health facility. The health facility could be introducing new or more advanced

machines in the labs to help in various operations. Thus, the employees would need proper training

to be in a position to use the equipment. Proper planning and training to the employees could win

them in accepting the change, increasing the relevancy of change to the health institution.

Therefore, this essay is concerned with the change experienced at the ABC Hospital on the e-

prescription model implemented by focusing on professional improvement at the facility.

The Current Change Practiced at ABC Infirmary

The overall surgical and therapeutic treatment at the ABC infirmary is rendered to the

patients is conducted in an advanced means. However, the entire facility records an admission of

15,000 with 30,000 emergency rooms for visitors annually. The ABC hospital is often focused on

providing an empathetic service and community insurance that proves to be great for their

clienteles basing on individual customer satisfaction. This forms the primary goal and mission of

the facility. The hospital achieves this by employing qualified and skillful nurses, medics, and

entire hospital staff (Patel et al., 2018). Besides, the same is attained by incorporating modern

technology that is highly effective and advanced in the current health care facilities.

Provided that these hospital facilities treat the massive populace of sick individuals, there

have been modifications happening within the hospital's planning department (Ioannides &

Gyimóthy, 2020). These variations are based on incorporating drug dispensation methods by

using the electronic-prescription to attempt to improve the health sector's general performance.

Therefore, the outline being cast-off for e-prescription endures enhancing the drug dispensation

procedure, which has always been done physically by using a written prescription in the health

care segment as old-fashioned. The production of medicine using the e-prescription method is

based on computerized technologies, which improve the type of medicine produced by doctors

(Weymouth & Hartz-Karp, 2018). Therefore, incorporating such frameworks in medicine

production within the health care sector spearheads the entire growth and development of the

health care facilities since it proves to be excellent in delivering service to patients.

Furthermore, e-prescription has improved the compelling of instruments since it has

upgraded the health care performances in the present times. A similar context has succeeded in

restricting the repetition of hospital errors due to minimum operational knowledge for experts and

specialists within the sector (Ioannides & Gyimóthy, 2020). Additionally, E-prescription endures

an improvement to the patient's information since it is easily available on an online platform.

Similarly, it’s easier for the sick to have access to their medics for medical guidance in general

concerning the medicine dispensation procedure while incorporating the e-prescription context.

The Successful Activities On E-Prescription in The Health Care Sector

The health care sector and any other related facility or medical associates must carefully

understand that the public has trusted them to provide their patients with the finest health care

services. It’s also understandable that the health facilities should often be provided by avoiding any

mistakes that may arise since they deal with human lives (Ioannides & Gyimóthy, 2020).

Nevertheless, several mistakes based on negligence have been transpiring at various occurrences

within various amenities in the health care segment. These are in terms of procedures used by

doctors for drug prescription (Didier et al., 2020). However, these uncertainties have, or even

therapeutic errors do not occur to injure the patients; it is necessary to sideline them at all costs.

Improved Trust Among Patients and Health Care Employees

Patient attendants by medics have been able to advance patient satisfaction by

incorporating the electronic-prescription schedule and increasing the level of honesty acquired and

guaranteed from the patients. Patients now feel more protected and trust that the treatments offered

to them by the health care specialists and auctioneers are based on honest and without human

mistakes (Didier et al., 2020). For a sustained evasion of any health mistakes during the patient

handling procedures, the health care segment must endure the complete rollout and operation of

the e-prescription model. Besides, the health care workers should also continue to motivate and

care for their patients by incorporating the electronic-prescription framework by considering the

current technological variations in the health care business. This is because there is the necessity

and requirement for the best health care practices to continue being observed without any health

errors at all times (Patel et al., 2018). Therefore, the E-prescription model has also been sustained

to assist the health care workers in gaining earn extra dimensions while distinguishing the

potentials for medication prescription mistakes.

Service Perfection Through the Use of E-Prescription Framework

Furthermore, the health care services have upgraded due to the medicine prescription

perfection methods through the e-prescription model. The e-prescription context relies on

enhancing the necessities required by the medical attendants based on the medication

information for the procedures within the health care facility. Medical professionals often depend

on the achieved patient information from the e-prescription framework in administering drug

treatments to their customers (ElMassah & Mohieldin, 2020). The same happens to ABC, which

relies upon when it comes to examining intravenous prescription and medicine sensitivities.

Therefore, incorporating an e-solution that originates from the e-prescription model demonstrates to

be the perfect model often implemented in four phases that are also exceptional (Didier et al.,

2021). These phases are introduced with information for administering medicine, focusing on the

medicine compatibility that is venous, categorizing the contact alerts for the drug, and finally

identifying the useful facts for drug treatment and remedy that is also concise.

Improved Communication Between Patients and Clinicians

The application and incorporation of the electronic-prescription model have also

accomplished the conveyance of the much-required development in communication within the

health care sector, particularly between the patients and health care workers or among doctor to

patient interaction (Patel et al., 2018). However, the development in communication procedures

has aided the healthcare professionals in introducing better decisions among healthcare workers

that are often knowledgeable based on the numerous outdoor and internal influences. Therefore,

these enhancements in the health care sector have been essential to health care professionals by

preventing them from creating mistakes in drug treatments.

Unsuccessful Activities on The Use Of E-Prescription in The Health Care Sector

However, notwithstanding the achievement realized on the application and

operationalization of the E-prescription context in the health care segment, the system faces

several challenges while implementing the e-prescription framework. Below is a discussion of the

inevitable challenges faced during the implementation of the framework.

Inconsistency of Information

The employment and application of the e-prescription system have been tackled with the

current challenge of the inconsistency of patient information. This is because the entry of

information can be conducted with a blunder, creating a misdiagnosis of a certain patient

(Ioannides & Gyimóthy, 2020). However, there has been a continuous embracement of the

technological variations by the health care facilities; hence the electronic prescription proves to be

more effective and efficient in prescribing drugs for patients in various hospitals.

Sustainability Issues

Incorporating the e-prescription model in implementing an effective healthcare facility is

also faced with sustainability challenges based on the fact that it is built on technological

development. Hence, several infirmaries are required to try and sustain their procedures in the

current competitive environment and their procurement of technology in minimizing errors during

drug prescription that often occur at a cost to the eco-friendly well-being of the environment (Patel

et al., 2018). Therefore, there has been an increasing necessity regarding the technology used in an

electronic prescription model that corresponds to the innovation that is highly expanding at a

higher rate, thus affecting the environment.

Changes in the Resistance towards E-prescription model

The introduction of modern technology in drug prescription using the electronic

 THE READINESS IN TRANSFORMING THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM 7

prescription context is faced with variations due to resistance in the health care sector since its

adoption endures at a sluggish stride. Didier et al. (2021) state that modern technology can be

credited to deficiency of training among health care employees or technical expertise on electric

prescription context application. Additionally, the lack of an ultimate or suitable technological

advancement is vital in implementing the e-prescription model for the workers in the health care

amenities. Hence, leading to the resistance to change by employees in various hospital facilities.

Reasons Behind the Success of E-prescription

The successful implementation of the electronic prescription context can be viewed as how

the health care facilities can inform their investors, such as patients, as the facility aims to improve

on their customer satisfaction techniques (Weymouth, R., & Hartz-Karp, 2018). However, during

the application of the electronic drug prescription method, several health care amenities can avoid

mistakes in their therapeutic procedures while attending to their patients, particularly in terms of

drug prescription while enhancing their trustworthy levels required by their patients. Thus,

resulting in the acceptance of the technological system with ease due to the feasibility

requirements posed by the use of up-to-date technology in health care facilities.

In addition, that the healthcare workers use the health care system to encourage and

support their patients, it's important to consider technological advancements that are currently

growing at a higher rate and with much ease in the health care industry. However, incorporating

the electronic prescription model plays a significant role in providing the best performance in

health care, encouraging continuous adherence to circumvent the incidence of medicinal and

therapeutic mistakes.

Therefore, incorporating the electronic prescription context in the health care facilities

proves to be a simple modification, especially to the benefit of patients in various hospitals. Hence,

it endures being a major indispensable tool within the health care facilities (ElMassah &
 THE READINESS IN TRANSFORMING THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM 8

Mohieldin, 2020). The advantages of this system are significant to several health measures;

besides, it allows and enhances the development levels for the hospital shareholders.

Policies towards Unsuccessful Effective Action Implementation

Various strategies can be applied within the health care sector to create minimum

productive activities to be operative regarding implementing the e-prescription framework. The

first policy is to improve the resistance to change witnessed by increasing the staff competencies in

using the electronic prescription model (Weymouth & Hartz-Karp, 2018). Hence the need for

leadership and staff collaboration while implementing a proficient firmness in the health sector.

The second policy is the operationalization of the electronic prescription context in various health

care facilities, which has to be conducted to enable the practical image of the facility's dimensions

in dealing with future complex conditions (Ioannides & Gyimóthy, 2020). Therefore, it is essential

to apply modification models such as Lewin's revolution prototype in an offer to evaluate the

apparent variations within the health care sector. Furthermore, the application of these systems by

the various hospital facilities will be essential in determining the effects of resistance on a long-

term basis and likening them to acceptance variations, benefits related to the same sector to

determine the future treatment procedures for the facility.

Another policy that needs to be implemented by the health care facilities in the proposal to

understand their respective progressions during the acceptance or rejection of changes is conducted

through customer interviews and several stakeholders on incorporating the electronic prescription

model. The health facilities should be capable of diagnosing the current changes and incorporating

the system assessment procedures. Therefore, the incorporation of modern technology in health

care facilities will be capable of looking at the capacity needed to understand these changes due to

the implementation procedure of electronic prescription model to be incorporated in the

prescription of patient’s medicine (Patel et al., 2018). Notably, the advantages of this system

should be capable of outweighing the drawbacks of implementing related to the system. However,
 THE READINESS IN TRANSFORMING THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM 9

minimizing the resistance effect to technological variation, the healthcare facilities must manage

the stakeholders painstakingly while forming preparations that will permit the facilities to make the

necessary variations appealing (ElMassah & Mohieldin, 2020). Therefore, there is a need to

administer extra resources such as technical apparatus used to operationalize the system and

enhance patient information entry methods to modify the transformation into a reality for the

facility's stakeholders.

Furthermore, there is a need for the health care facilities to utilize the current modifications

that are essential in the implementation of the E-prescription context as simple to organizational

employees (Didier et al., 2021). The adoption of training programs within the health facility will

enable the ABC hospital to embrace changes basing on the benefits resulting from technology

during the implementation process.

Conclusion

The increasing patient population within the health care facilities gives rise to the necessity

of enhanced and improved health care planning, leading to the introduction of modernized drug

prescription procedures through incorporating the E-prescription model. This model has the

mandate of improving the general performance of health care professionals within the health care

facilities. Variations are indeed important in bringing the much-needed change within the health

care business when the entire health care staff embraces technology as an operational procedure,

hence outlining the changes in the above report regarding the operationalization of the E-

prescription model. Therefore, the incorporation of the E-prescription context in health care has

transformed several health care amenities concerning their goals and objectives they have been

considering in delivering quality services to patients.

By using E-prescription, various health facilities conduct a concise appraisal, development,

and operationalization of the system. Additionally, implementing this system requires appropriate

policies and strategies to ensure that it is relevant and worthy to the entire health care facilities that
 THE READINESS IN TRANSFORMING THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM 10

embrace the E-prescription context. This discussion provided an outline concerning the variations

in technology experienced in the health care sector regarding the E- prescription model application

while concentrating on the development of the specialized and expertise in the entire health care

practice.
