What your infusion pumps have been trying to tell you

Highlights

The compliance gap: ISMP asks hospitals to keep dose error reduction system (DERS) compliance above 95%. Published US hospital data shows real-world compliance as low as 46%, and, even after a deliberate two-year improvement program, no higher than 83%.

The alarm gap: infusion pump alarms carry less than 8% positive predictive value, meaning more than 92% may not require a clinical response, yet every one still has to be checked.

The visibility gap: this data already exists inside your pump fleet. Today it is split across vendor tools that were never built to talk to each other.
