Improving IV Medication Accuracy with Smart Pump Safety Procedures

Host: Shelina Ramnarine, PhD Guest: Samuel Ubanyionwu, PharmD, EMBA Accurate IV medication delivery depends on more than proper pump programming alone. It requires a comprehensive understanding of smart pump drug libraries, dose error reduction software (DERS), infusion mechanics, and system-level safety procedures. To explore how these elements work together to support IV medication accuracy, patient safety, and clinical decision-making, Dr. Shelina Ramnarine speaks with Dr. Samuel Ubanyionwu, Medication Management Informaticist in Pharmacy Services and an Assistant Professor of Pharmacy at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine.
