Two FTEs (full-time equivalents) were added to the nursing staff of each unit in preparation for the eMAR implementation. Administration would like to see the FTEs back to their previous totals by the end of the first implementation year.
1. Examine the current workflow diagram. What change(s) would you suggest that could increase efficiency and better manage human resources on the unit? 2. If barcoding is implemented as part of the eMAR process, what are three SMART objectives you would suggest for staff orientation and training to meet the goal "ensure efficient workflow in the eMAR end-user process"?
