discuss the patient safety access and technology implications of an iv smart pump
I do not need references or citations….. Mr. Boggy has an IV running on an IV “Smart†pump. The IV pump continuously measures the volume infused, the medication administered, alarms when there is an obstruction or the medication is complete.
The total volumes infused and the name and dose of medication administered are automatically WIRELESSLY uploaded into a queue in the patient electronic medical record.
The nurse must log in and acknowledge the information before the final entry. Discuss the patient safety, access, and technology implications.
This is for a class about Electronic Health records and computers used in health care.
The answer should talk about safety concerns using this type of system, how it should be very difficult to access this system (only people involved in the patient care should have access to it, and also that this technology saves a lot of work for people because it does the monitoring of the patient.
