Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:In this literature review, we discuss 2 system-level, nurse-targeted patient safety practices (PSPs) that aim to reduce medication errors associated with infusion pumps, including smart pumps. One practice focuses on implementing structured process changes and redesigning workflows to improve efficiencies with pump use. The other focuses on investing in initial and ongoing staff training on the correct use, maintenance, and monitoring of infusion pumps. METHODS:Two databases were searched for "infusion pumps" and related synonyms, along with relevant terms for each PSP. Articles were excluded if outcomes were not directly relevant to the PSP addressed in this review, the article was out of scope, or study design was insufficiently described. RESULTS:Limited research was found on best practices for reducing errors and improving infusion pump use through workflow and process changes, as well as education and training. Four studies reported medication administration errors, procedural errors, or deviations from hospital policy as clinical outcomes of workflow or process changes. Mixed results were found examining process outcomes related to pump handling. Education on the correct use of smart pumps was found to decrease medication errors and adverse drug events, and 2 studies found an increase in nurses' adherence to using the medication safety software library as a result of education. CONCLUSIONS:Standardization of process and integration of technology and workflows were found as facilitators. Type and content of education provided were identified as facilitators, whereas time and energy constraints on nurse educators can be barriers to implementing large hospital-wide education programs.
