Study Summary
To identify the key issues around use of computerized patient infusion devices (called "smart pumps"). To develop strategies that will improve the prevention of intravenous errors that will be broadly applicable. The investigators will conduct a national study using the general methodology developed by Husch et al. to allow a rapid assessment of the frequency and types of medication errors at an institution. The key questions the investigators will address are: 1. What are the frequency and types of intravenous medication errors? 2. How much variability is there by frequency and type among settings? 3. After review of the initial data, what strategies appear to have the greatest potential for reducing intravenous medication error frequency? 4. How effective is an intervention including a bundle of these strategies at multiple sites?
Primary Outcome
The same medication but the dose is different from the prescribed order.
Interventions
- OTHER Smart pump safety Intervention bundle for improving IV medication administration process with smart pump
