Description
Healthcare is experiencing a paradigm shift as it relates to medical devices. A medical device today can no longer be viewed as an isolated entity. Its value increases dramatically when it is a component of an aggregate process that includes clinical documentation. In the case of infusion management, the connection between smart infusion pumps and the electronic health record creates a closed-loop process in which clinician error is removed, documentation occurs in real-time, and simplicity, thoroughness, and transparency are enhanced. Such systems can be instrumental in reducing medication errors, optimizing therapy, and reducing hospital costs. In this continuing education activity, Cathy Guay will review the implementation and use of closed-loop intravenous medication technology, including safety and efficiency benefits.
