Intravenous Smart Pump Drug Library Compliance: A Descriptive Study of 44 Hospitals

Abstract

Our findings support that there are differences in IV smart pump compliance both within and between hospital systems and that IV smart pump type and the number of drug library profiles may be influencing factors. Further research is required to more accurately identify the impact of these factors in this very important area of patient safety.

Systemic Defenses to Prevent Intravenous Medication Errors in Hospitals: A Systematic Review

“… 24 , 66 Another area of development is the functionality of smart pumps and drug libraries, as a recent study found differences in smart pump compliance both within and between hospital systems, which might be influenced by pump type and the number of drug library profiles. 77 Prevention of errors throughout the IV medication process requires integrating smart pumps into closed-loop medication management systems, such as electronic patient records, clinical pharmacist’s review of orders, automated compounding systems, barcode verification at the bedside, and real-time clinical monitoring data. 20 , 24 , 48 , 49 , 51 , 54 , 55 , 62 – 66 , 78 …”

Plan-Do-Check-Act Framework: Effects on Pediatric Students Nurses Compliance toward Using Intravenous Smart Pump

“…In the present study, the students stated that training heightened their self-esteem consequently increase their self-confidence and decrease apprehension about making medication err ors, and day by day they became smarter in providing safe neonatal care. Moreover, [20,21,22] who informed that endorsing undergraduate students realistic teaching strategies could play a vital role in transferring handy quality and efficiency skills experiences to the clinical environment and meet the burdens of professional practice that overcome challenges facing all healthcare.…”

Artificial intelligence in medical devices and clinical decision support systems

“…As ML-based diagnostic systems have become more accepted, therapeutic applications have emerged. The use of Smart Infusion Pump Systems has become the preferred method of ensuring IV medication safety (Giuliano, 2018). Most of those systems are based on expert-system AI, rather than ML, but the robustness and reliability of such devices have led to more complete ML-based applications like implanted insulin pumps and emerging closed-loop artificial pancreas devices.…”
