Storyboard Text
- This is noted, thanks!
- Here's the prescription for the patient in Room 306.
- Hey, can you read this? The physician's handwriting isn't legible and I can't contact her for confirmation. If only we had technology so we could rely on digital records.
- I think it says 10g of acetaminophen.
- Good afternoon, Ma'am! I'm just here to give your doctor's prescription.
- Alright.
- A few hours later...
- What seems to be the problem, Ma'am?

- Medication errors are one of the most important things that technology has helped prevent in healthcare. The presence of digital records and prescriptions has made it easier for healthcare workers to identify the correct drug and dosage each patient needs We all know doctors tend to have illegible handwriting, which makes it hard for other staff to clearly identify what was really prescribed. Technology has also made it easier for nurses to communicate with physicians in order to clarify and confirm orders.
