Reality of Medication Errors
Adverse Drug Events may occur in one-third of hospital patients.1
More than 1.9 million ADEs per year.2
More than 180,000 patients die from ADEs annually.2 41% of fatal errors related to administering the wrong dose.3
Med errors cost $3.5 billion to treat annually & affect 1.5 million patients.3
Preventing just one ADE per day could save a hospital over $3 million annually.4
Over 56% of medication errors are associates with IV medications5
Over the last five years, the FDA has received reports of 710 patient deaths linked to problems with infusion pumps5
61% of the most costly and serious medication errors are IV-related6
Medication Administration Errors Using Infusion Pumps is the #3 technology hazard in healthcare7

Bumps along the way…
• Weights – We found we documented weights multiple ways. We had to align our weights to one event code and create a process for nursing to document this prior to giving meds
• Pump Firmware Upgrades (Pump Round-up / time & Logistics) • Pharmacy dedication – We learned that a dedicated pharmacist
to the implementation was necessary. • Required a tremendous amount of time from the nursing analyst
and clinical educators. • Biomed and MIS/Network Engineering were also critical players

Troubleshooting Wasn’t Easy
1. Custom Organizer-Level Page in EMR / PowerChart 2. Shows each error by patient along with:
a) Order ID b) Log ID c) Actual Error d) Nurse Name
3. Reports are generated to pinpoint major issues
Ability to expand/collapse each patient to see actual error log

What our nurses are saying…
“It takes out that manual programming piece of it and allows the nurse just to double check what’s actually going on…and of course you can’t go forward if you’re doing something wrong.” - Kristin, R.N.
“We all know that we’re human, capable of error at any given moment on any given day. [Smart Pump Programming] takes a component of the human error out.” - Denise, R.N.
“We’ve had several examples where if the nurse had followed proper procedure and used [Smart Pump Programming] it would have prevented some pretty significant errors. - Lisa, R.N.

Clinical Quality
2011 Q4 (pre-project) vs. 2012 Q3 (post-project) Patient armband scanning went from 36% to 62% Total Guardrails Infusions went from 61% to 73% Total Guardrails Alerts went from 4,429 to 3,762 Severe Harms Averted went from 30 to 23 Reprogrammed Infusions went from 515 to 289 High Risk Overrides went from 88 to 46
Basic vs. Guardrails Infusions Basic went down from 14,115 to 8,859 Guardrails went up from 22,089 to 24,421

Benefits Realized
1. Preventing adverse drug events! 2. Increasing patient safety! 3. Giving nursing more time to spend with the patient
a) Nurses generally spend only 30% of time doing direct patient care and technology issues are a key distractor.
4. Increased nursing satisfaction a) Several nurses have commented how they feel safer when using auto-pump
programming
5. Ability to analyze data across Alaris, iBus and EMR 6. Decreased pharmacy costs due to wasted medications

Lessons Learned
• Train! Train! Train! Especially Classroom training! But also videos, job aides, emails, etc
• Test! Test! Test! Ensure you have the environments & equipment you need (Cert, Mock, Train, devices dedicated to this process)
• Understand your current processes! Do a pre-project nursing assessment to confirm what you “think” they are doing
• Promote as a tool for patient safety…not as a time saver • Take time to visit a site who is live or have a call • Define all hospital departments and how/where you will use pump
programming • Properly assess your WiFi network (We no longer support wireless “b”) • Create a Training Check List or Script for nurses to use in training classes • Consider a post-go live nursing survey to review their thoughts/implement
improvements • Partnership is key not only with the vendor but also internally (Nursing,
Pharmacy, Biomed, IT)
Don’t be a Department of NO, be one of KNOW-HOW!
