Advancing patient safety in infusion therapy
By Featured article
Patient safety is at the heart of healthcare delivery. All treatments require close attention, but infusion therapy in particular can pose unique challenges which require the most meticulous oversight. Any errors in dosage or drug interactions can have serious consequences, which highlights the need for precise and standardized administration.
Manual tracking of drug interactions and dosage calculations places a heavy burden on staff and increases the risk of errors, potentially compromising patient trust and safety. Additionally, the variability in protocols and the lack of standardized practices across different healthcare settings can intensify these challenges.
According to a study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), nearly two percent of infusion therapy errors result from recording discrepancies. Manual tracking can result in wrong doses, missed doses, or administration of incorrect medications. When your infusion staff are managing multiple medications with different infusion rates and interactions, that complex task requires careful attention to detail and technology that supports them.
The IntelliDoseTxM® infusion management solution prioritizes patient safety by standardizing treatment protocols and providing real-time alerts for medication interactions and dosage calculations. It addresses the challenges of infusion therapy by offering a comprehensive solution designed to enhance accuracy and reduce the risk of errors.
IntelliDoseTxM also includes a dual verification system with medication and dosage to assist with accuracy.
With the increasing number of treatments administered by infusion, your staff need to be meticulous to prevent errors and keep patients safe. IntelliDoseTxM stands out as a comprehensive system that prioritizes patient safety through standardized protocols, real-time alerts, and dual nurse verification.
