Infusion pump dose error reduction systems: trends in purchasing and use
Abstract:
Over the last three years, infusion pump suppliers have begun introducing dose error reduction systems. The primary function of these systems is to reduce pump programming errors and associated injuries to patients. However, these systems can offer other benefits as well. In this article, we describe ways that hospitals can use dose error reduction system data to improve patient care and staff efficiency. We also detail the fees that accompany this new software and discuss the potential for increasing patient safety using wireless capabilities.
