Integrating Infusion Pumps (Part 1) - A Vendor's Perspective
Presenters:

Overview: The effectiveness of Rapid Response Systems (RRS) is dependent on early detection of the deteriorating patient. This is especially challenging in non-ICU setting were nurse to patient ratios are often 1:5 or greater. Leaders in RRS agree continuous vital signs monitoring strengthens the afferent limb of rapid response, but only if nuisance alarms are addressed. Early detection for general ward patients requires continuous monitoring of all vital signs (HR, Resp, BP, SpO2, Temp) that allows the patients to freely ambulate. A new generation of wireless, digital on-body devices are emerging that addresses this need. This presentation will review the requirements for early detection of the deteriorating patient, an innovative on-body technology that addresses this need, and an evidence based approach to alarm management for this patient populationThe effectiveness of Rapid Response Systems (RRS) is dependent on early detection of the deteriorating patient.

With a more technical viewpoint, experts from Carefusion will focus on current and potential deployments of closed-loop infusion systems. Presenters will bring participants from the why, explaining the direct benefits of closed-loop infusion and how far successes in interoperability have allowed healthcare to progress in this important discipline. This will set the stage for Parts 2 and 3 of the 3-part series which launches into the planning and implementation stages of integrating infusion pumps.
