This research aims to assess how EMR-smart pump interoperability affects patient safety and user acceptance in healthcare settings.
Comparative study using baseline and post-implementation data from two hospitals
Evaluation of medication library compliance and alert systems
Nursing staff survey to gauge satisfaction and confidence levels
Medication library compliance improved from 93% to 97% (P < .0001) after integration
Frequency of pump reprogramming and high-risk alerts increased, indicating enhanced safety
Average keystrokes needed for programming dropped from 13 to 3 (P < .0001)
Clinician's perceived ease of use declined significantly from 90% to 45% (P < .0001)
