Smart Pump Library Entries--Investigational Drug Agents

Good evening,

We are in the process of evaluating how to incorporate investigational drugs into our smart pump library (Alaris) and would love to learn how others handle this type of infusion.

1. Do you add investigational drugs to your smart pump library?

2. If so, how? Are they incorporated within your general care area profiles with unique naming nomenclature (i.e. IDS___), within an investigational drug profile, or through another mechanism?

Greatly appreciate any and all advice you would be willing to share!

Thanks!
