bad procurement or poor procurement management in any organization (including from your experience). Describe the situation and explain why you believe this as an example of a bad procurement or poor procurement management. Be specific and remember, others are not familiar with the situation and need to understand the backstory. What made the procurement management ineffective and/or what were the factors that led to the poor outcome? Please include a minimum of one resource in addition to your required or optional reading/viewing resources. In a previous project at a bus manufacturer where I used to work, there was a need to change out the paper time card time clocks with electronic barcode scanning time clocks. The procurement portion of the project entailed purchasing the barcode readers, barcode printer, cables, badge creation software, wire and conduit installation of the wire. The project was developed with the assistance of the time clock software developer based on their experience. The procurement tasks were assigned to Bill in the purchasing department. Bill handled the initial discussions with the time clock software developer for the most compatible devices for their software and provided a list of vendors for the devices. Bill thought he could do better by sourcing other vendors. The time allotted for the vendor sourcing was two weeks and the devices needed to be in house four weeks after the vendor was chosen. Bill found a vendor that was not on the list…
cannot assume that all the products are sold, there is a chance of shoplifting. In order to avoid all these sort of problems, using a barcode scanner is the best solution. Barcode technology maintains a record of all the goods on a computer system. It helps to track the products which means it gives the information about the items sold and the current stock level. Depending on the current stock level owner can order a new stock to refill the gap. The main purpose is, the owner can change the…
Rights” Nor Bar Code Medication Administration Alone Will Prevent Medication Errors," n.d). According to the Institute of Medicine report in 2010 it is estimated that a hospitalized patient is subject to one medication administration error per day with an estimated 7000 deaths linked to such errors (Koppel, Wetterneck, Telles, & Karsh, 2010). Such medication errors occur at any stage of the medication preparation process, including ordering, transcribing, dispensing, and the administration…
In order to achieve highest HCAHPS scores and reduce medical errors JMH Executive Committee decided to implement a bar-code scanning system of medication delivery and a patient education program during Hospital stay. The bar-code scanning system is an integral part of the electronic health record. Nurses administer all medications, including i.v. piggy-back medications and i.v. large-volume medications, through the bar-code scanning system. All information is documented with a time stamp for…
What barcode Format do you recommend? Why? Upon reviewing the available information concerning the formation of an EDMS system, my recommendation for a barcoding format is the Health Industry Bar Code (HIBC) Standard. The HIBC Standard was created by the Health Industry Business Communications Council, which was founded in 1983 by a group of trade associations with the specific purpose to develop a labeling system that would be tailored to the needs of the healthcare industry. Through this…
In order to express and understand the measurements of a patient, we need to measure them in two different categories, direct measurements involving concrete values and indirect measurements are abstract concepts (Grove, Gray, & Burns, 2015). The direct measure of scanning the milk and watching it go to the correct patient is easy to track, however, the indirect measure of what is getting mixed into the milk in addition to the expiration of the milk are two difficult areas to track when they…
Study number one showed an improvement by decreasing errors by 83%. Number two went from 0.131% to 0.014% by removing the ability of nursing to bypass the scanning process which indeed shows that barcode scanning improves outcomes (Duteau, 2014). The third study was not related to the use of barcode scanning but the forth study did show an improvement after implimentation by staff satisfaction and willingness to impliment and use the process for total improvement in many areas (Chou, Yan,…

Maggie digs a "well in the sand with her toe" (877). We can almost see Maggie looking down and embarrassed. As Dee gets out of the car, it is her legs that her mother first recognizes. She says it looks as if "God himself shaped them with a certain style" (878). The next thing the mother notices is the stocky man with long messy hair and "hair hanging from his chin like a kinky mule tail" (878). Walker then spells out the sound that Maggie makes as she sees the male friend. She says, "Uhnnnh,"…
sensory details that bring the reader into Matthew’s world, but is lacking in some structural aspects and leaves the reader without a satisfactory conclusion. His vocabulary notwithstanding, Matthew’s essay is spectacularly descriptive and easily conveys the atmosphere he felt as a child as he takes his readers through the experience he is sharing. There are areas, however, that could be analyzed as outside the trend and lacking in the colorful language that the rest of the paper exhibits. While…
