Managing overfill settings for multiple fluid manufacturers in smart pump interop
We have gone live with Epic smart pump interoperability and are facing challenges with our overfill settings due to a required utilization of multiple fluid manufacturers due to shortages and the differences in overfills. We are receiving reports that RNs are running out of volume to be infused, with some volumes short by ~20mLs. What have your sites done in the face of these fluid shortages on the Epic build side?
Thanks,
Jeff
