Abstract/OtherAbstract:
To help counteract patient safety issues, the Institute of Medicine suggested that hospitals "make greater use of information technology in prescribing and dispensing medications... including the adoption of smart infusion pumps". Recently, KLAS conducted a study on smart pump usage, with extra attention being given to issues such as the functional strengths of the available pumps, missing functionality, pump tracking and quantifiable benefits reported by providers.
