Smiths Medical, a leading global medical device manufacturer, announced
today its partnership with HCA Capital Division to integrate its
Medfusion® 4000 wireless syringe infusion pumps with HCA’s
electronic medical records system (EMR).
Smart pump programming will allow clinician order parameters to be sent
to the pump, which will help ensure the correct medication,
concentration, rate, and dose be delivered to the patient. This will
increase patient safety by reducing possible programming errors.
Smart pump programming is supported by Integrating the Healthcare
Enterprise (IHE), an initiative by healthcare professionals and
industry to improve the way computer systems in healthcare share
information. IHE promotes the coordinated use of established standards
such as DICOM and HL7 to address specific clinical needs in support of
optimal patient care. Systems developed in accordance with IHE
communicate with one another better, are easier to implement, and enable
care providers to use information more effectively.
