HealthcareSoftware Integration & Compatibility3MediumRegistered Nurse
Epic automates weight entry into Alaris pumps for weight-based drips but uses the daily weight from the order date, causing weight mismatches when multiple drips are ordered on different days, increasing error risk.
The integration does not enforce a single shared weight across all active weight-based drips; it uses the daily weight on the order date, which can differ between drips.

Workarounds Described
- Told to always use the weight from when the drip was started, ignoring daily weight updates
- Manually reconciling weight differences between multiple drips without system support
Implied Software Gaps
- Integration rule that automatically updates all active drip weights from a single verified source
App Concept
DripWeight Sync
DripWeight Sync is a middleware safety module that ensures all active weight-based infusions on Alaris pumps reference a single, nurse-verified patient weight from Epic. It prevents multiple weight values from being applied, reduces override errors, and alerts pharmacy and nursing when mismatches occur.
Key Features
- Single-source weight verification from Epic to Alaris for all active drips
- Real-time alert when pump and chart weight do not match
- Weight lock with forced re-verification timer (e.g., every 24 hours)
Target Users: Nurses and pharmacy staff in medium-to-large hospitals using Epic and Alaris smart pumps
Revenue Model: $1,500/mo per hospital flat fee for up to 500 beds, with enterprise tier pricing for larger systems
