Optimizing Outcomes! Error Prevention and Evidence-Based Practice with IV Medications

This educational activity will discuss infusion management practices and their impact in minimizing medical errors, maximizing patient outcomes, and minimizing costs, as well as their potential to help drive care toward evidence-based standards. The opportunities and challenges presented by advancing IV integration technology will be discussed, and a real-life example will be used to walk attendees through the implementation of a fully integrated infusion management system. Such systems have the ability to create closed-loop connectivity between infusion pumps and the electronic health record.
