Line swaps

Hello everyone,

Our facility continues to get occasional reports of lines being swapped on the pump, despite having appropriate scanning functionality and interoperability in place. While we do require our nurses to trace lines, sometimes this step is overlooked.

Just thought I'd ask around - does anyone have any creative ideas to tackle this issue? We repeatedly educate and send reminders and emphasize scanning, interoperability, and line tracing, but we continue see issues trickle through...

Thanks!
