The vital role of digital automation in advancing infusion management
By ION
With no set standards in traditional paper-based systems, following manual processes can result in miscalculations or unauthorized drug administrations - all of which compromise patient safety and care quality. These challenges not only increase the risk of medical errors but also place a heavy administrative burden on staff.
The chance for errors with infusion therapy are consistent across different sites of administering healthcare. According to a 2020 study, errors were attributed to undocumented orders like those given verbally and not transcribed, programming errors like wrong concentration or volume entered, and administration errors like wrong method of administration or missed dosing not recorded. Having a paper-based system with multiple points of access by staff provides many opportunities for undetected errors.
By automating the entire infusion management process and seamlessly integrating with electronic health record (EHR) systems, IntelliDoseTxM® transforms how practices operate. It combines computerized physician order entry (CPOE), nurse charting, and authorization management into one system. With drug and patient data in a single platform, IntelliDoseTxM can ease your workflow, reduce human error, and enhance patient safety.
