Strand A Ethnographic strand
Mixed method – Qualitative and
Quantitative study
Observe the organisational change, explore staff
perspectives of doctors, nurses and pharmacists as e-prescribing is implemented
Strand B Efficiency – “DEA model”
strand
DEA – Data Envelopment Analysis
What is the impact of e-prescribing on the
efficiency of the services?
Strand C – 3D study – Drugs, Data, Decisions
What Key Performance Measures does the hospital
measure before implementation of e-prescribing, how much
resources are used to generate it?
What will be measured during and after implementation?

SPACER 3D – Drugs, Data, DecisionsBackground
• BCH uses currently available data - define and measure progress towards organisational goals
• Surveillance and audits are used to support medication governance … via an organisational structure.
• Enables decision making.
David RP Terry
SPACER 3D – Drugs, Data, Decisions
Questions: What data / metrics are used?How are they used?How will EPMA change this?
David RP Terry
SPACER 3DAims and objectives- To observe the relevant metrics before, during and
after implementation of electronic prescribing.
- To identify changes to metrics, processes, reporting systems and decision making, in relation to the medication process.
David RP Terry
SPACER 3DAims and objectives
- Capture metrics … catalogue being assembled- By analysing the documentation and reports in
circulation during the three periods of transitionDATA - Identify the medication related changes that occur.PROCESSES - Identify process (report) changes due to EPMAREPORTS - Observe committee oversight & responses to reports.

SPACER 3DExpected outputs
• An increase in clarity in how data is used.
• Reduction in the time and resources recorded to produce the audits.
• Develop metrics not available in paper system.
• The quality and depth of information from the reports may improve.
• Identification of novel underlying problems within the system that cannot be measured under the current paper system.
