Smart infusion pump dose error reduction software

Abstract:

Smart infusion pumps combine computer technology and drug libraries to limit the potential for dosing errors. Hospitalized patients commonly receive intravenous (IV) medications and fluids via smart infusion pumps, and errors involving the pumps occur each year.2 A study published in 2016 found that bypassing the smart infusion pump or the drug library accounted for about 10% of the total number of errors or policy violations relating to infusion administration.3 Smart pump errors can result in harm to patients that could be avoided by using built-in dose error reduction software (DERS).
