Introduction of the Research
Information technology refers
to use of the computers and
also any other
telecommunication
equipments that store, ret
rive and transmit
information or data in an
effective manner.

Background of the Problem
Information technology refers to set of tools, associated
equipments and methodologies which are employed to
process, gather and also present information in a proper
manner. In this present time period, information system
and computers are the main parts of business. It drives
innovation path to success of business.

Review of the Literature
It is related with views and opinion of different authors who
has experience in specified topic and areas. Mainly it is
based ion secondary data collection through which
investigator easily gather relevant data towards the
research topic.

 To determine ways through which healthcare
organisation can reduce drug errors by 5% in 1 year.
 To identify significance of IT in increasing number of
healthcare professionals by 10% in 1 year.
 To reduce complexities by 5% in 2 years related to
Information Technology which NHS is currently
facing.

Determine ways through which
healthcare organisation can reduce drug
errors by 5% in 1 year.
According to Sisk, (2018), every health care organisation face
issues related with drug errors that are negatively impact
on the health of patients. Thus, it is important for health
professional to become more professional towards the
medications transcription that they have to follow while
performing their duties. With the assistance of this, they

According to Maxik, (2017), There are some ways which used by
NHS with the purpose of reducing the drug errors by 5% within
1 year.
Follow proper medications reconciliation procedures.
Ensure about proper storage of medications for proper efficacy.
Needs to consider having a drug guide which available at all
times.

Significance of IT in increasing number
of healthcare professionals by 10% in 1
year
On the basis of opinion of Banova (2015), Healthcare has
been evolved with Information Technology from many
years. IT plays an essential role in health care and it is
helpful in change way to provide health acre services to
people. In addition of this, continuous developments
information technologies heath care save lives and at the
same time also improved the quality of life.

Reduce complexities by 5% in 2 years
related to Information Technology
According to Urbina, (2013), every health care requires
skilled and talented professionals who have proper
knowledge about the information technology which may
reduce the issues. In context of NHS,they also face issues
related with IT which may negatively impact on the
overall performance in-front of patients.

Research Methodology
It is one of the important process of research which used by
investigator with the aim of determining as well as
selecting information towards the specific topic and area
as well. With the help of this, investigator can easily
analysis the validity of the research.
