Connecting Up: Speeding Up

There are about 50 steps from medication warehouse to administration- Linking Shields means ensuring every step is safe, efficient and links to the next: Think Swiss Cheese, FMEA, or Eating an Elephant- it's huge but we aim to make it digestible! In this episode we look at how networking smart IV-pumps can speed up the medication safety quality cycle, how networking assists biomedical departments in keeping pump libraries updated and look at two case studies where networking allowed for more complete data across facilities, how ‘forcing functions’ work, and how richer data can help with planning human approaches to medication safety.
