FREE for Members! 2022-2023 Educational webinar series/session3: IV Pumps Integration - Lessons learned
Infusion pump integration, also referred to as infusion pump interoperability, refers to technologies that enable the creation of an electronic connection between an infusion pump channel and an electronic medical record (EMR) system. This electronic connection can be leveraged to improve patient safety and support clinical documentation workflow. Infusion pump interoperability functionality is now available from most pump vendors and many healthcare organizations have started their interoperability journey. However, achieving infusion pump interoperability is no easy feat but rather a complex endeavor requiring testing and on-going resources beyond just the initial implementation phase. Join this ACCE Educational Webinar to learn more about infusion pump interoperability and hear lessons learned from a healthcare facility’s infusion pump interoperability journey.
