A nurse struggles to reliably administer time-sensitive IV antibiotics amidst frequent order changes, patient emergencies, and high-acuity demands, leading to a missed dose.
Existing medication administration systems (e.g., smart pumps, EHR barcode scanning) still require manual pump programming and lack real-time alerts for overdue doses; they don't adapt to dynamic order changes or provide automated failsafes when a dose is not started.
Workarounds Described
- Manually re-programming pump after realizing dose wasn't started
- Relying on memory and paper/mental notes to track order changes throughout the day
- Verbally reporting the error to charge nurse after-the-fact
Implied Software Gaps
- Automated pump programming that syncs with EHR order modifications
- Real-time infusion status alerts to prevent missed doses
- Centralized view for charge nurses to monitor all ongoing infusions
DoseGuard Infusion
An AI-powered infusion management platform that automates pump programming via integration with EHR order updates, sends proactive alerts for missed or delayed doses, and provides real-time dashboards for charge nurses to monitor high-risk medications across the unit. It catches human errors like forgetting to press 'start' on the pump and ensures time-critical antibiotics are never inadvertently skipped.
- Auto-programs pump parameters from EHR order changes in real time
- Sends escalation alerts (to nurse, charge nurse, and provider) if dose not started within configurable window
- Overlay dashboard showing all pending, in-progress, and overdue infusions for the unit
- Captures compliance data for incident reporting and quality improvement
