Nurse leaders are challenged to stay abreast of the unintended consequences of safety technology. Many hospitals have adopted smart pumps to improve medication safety. Unfortunately, this technology has limitations. Despite their success in averting some errors, lethal outcomes are still reported in organizations using smart pumps. Documented workarounds, such as bypassing safety features, threaten patient safety. This concerning information has prompted leaders to evaluate current implementation strategies. This article provides an overview of smart pumps, highlights the Institute for Safe Medication Practices' implementation guidelines, and presents a case report of the use of smart pump data to improve clinical practice.
护士领导者面临着紧跟安全技术意外后果的挑战。许多医院采用了智能输液泵来提高用药安全性。不幸的是，这项技术存在局限性。尽管它们在避免一些错误方面取得了成功，但在使用智能输液泵的机构中仍有致命后果的报告。记录在案的变通方法，如绕过安全功能，威胁着患者安全。这些令人担忧的信息促使领导者评估当前的实施策略。本文概述了智能输液泵，强调了安全用药实践研究所的实施指南，并呈现了一个使用智能输液泵数据改善临床实践的案例报告。
