IV-EHR Interoperability Some Things Work Better Together Your smart pumps help enhance safety through guidance at the bedside. Your barcode system, connected to electronic health records (EHR), electronically verifies the five rights. And you rely on your documentation systems to access data. On their own, these elements are good. Together, they are powerful. Integrate your systems with ICU Medical s IV-EHR Interoperability solution to ensure your ICU Medical smart pumps with ICU Medical MedNet safety software are programmed with accurate orders and every infusion setting is documented. Your nurses, physicians, and pharmacists can trust, verify, and support one another in what matters most patient care.
The Maladies of Manual Processes. Infusion-related errors are a bitter pill. They put your patients, clinicians, and finances at risk. Yet, eliminating them is a challenge. Manual processes leave you susceptible to errors and stretched for time, which would be better spent on caregiving. Not so with ICU Medical s IV-EHR solution its Smart Pump Programming and Infusion Documentation* help alleviate the challenges of manual processes. 2 1 Scan the Patient Scan the Medication Bring Advancements To Life. When you implement IV-EHR Interoperability, you connect your ICU Medical IV pumps with ICU Medical MedNet safety software to your patients pharmacy orders and EHR. This connectivity enables the system to program pump settings from the order onto the IV pump and provides infusion information in near real time to the EHR helping you improve safety, speed up workflows, and bolster financial health. 3 4 Scan the Pump Channel Verify Settings & Start Infusion 5 Complete Documentation *Functionality dependent on EHR system capability.
Smart Pump Programming Bypass drug errors by populating your IV pumps with patient orders already vetted by your pharmacists. Smart Pump Programming with IV-EHR Interoperability allows for the pharmacy-validated order to flow into the pump and populate onto the screen. The result? Your nurses and pharmacists can be assured that the pump settings match the patient s order. > Now, you can rely directly on the pharmacy-validated order rather than your notes. All that s left to start your infusion is to verify and confirm the settings. > Free up nurses to give more direct attention to patients. Reduce the number of steps and time spent programming.
