| Subject: Information Communication Technology ICT |
| Lesson Topic: Know and understand characteristics and uses of patient records, pharmacy records |
Learning Objective/s:
- Describe the key characteristics of patient and pharmacy records (confidentiality, accuracy, completeness, etc.).
- Explain how these records support clinical decision‑making, medication safety, and inventory management.
- Analyse the integration process linking patient records with pharmacy systems and its impact on audit trails.
- Evaluate the benefits of ICT in improving safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance of health records.
|
Materials Needed:
- Projector and computer with internet access
- Slide deck summarising characteristics and uses
- Printed handouts of characteristic tables
- Sample EHR and pharmacy system screenshots
- Whiteboard and markers
- Exit‑ticket cards
|
Introduction:
Begin with a short video clip showing a medication error prevented by an electronic alert, sparking curiosity about digital health records.
Ask learners what they already know about patient and pharmacy records and link this to today’s success criteria: identify characteristics, explain uses, and assess ICT benefits.
|
Lesson Structure:
- Do‑Now (5') – Quick quiz on prior knowledge of health records.
- Mini‑lecture (10') – Present patient record characteristics with slide visuals.
- Group activity (10') – Analyse a sample patient record for confidentiality, accuracy, and completeness.
- Mini‑lecture (8') – Introduce pharmacy record characteristics and regulatory requirements.
- Paired task (10') – Map the prescription flow from patient EHR to pharmacy system using a provided diagram.
- Whole‑class discussion (7') – Discuss benefits and challenges of ICT integration.
- Exit ticket (5') – Students write one benefit and one potential risk of digital health records.
|
Conclusion:
Summarise the main characteristics and uses of both record types and highlight how ICT enhances safety and efficiency.
Collect exit tickets to gauge understanding, then assign a homework task: research a real‑world electronic health record system and prepare a brief summary of its key features.
