Target goal for compliance with auto-programming of IV medications via Smart Pump

Hi Everyone,

Wanted to ask what your organization's target goal is for auto-programming IV medications that are being infused via a Smart Pump (if you have bi-directional interoperability with your EMR)? Is it the same target goal as the one you use for compliance with the use of dose error-reduction systems (DERS) or do you make a differentiation?

Do you know of any national benchmark for this metric (I only can find benchmarks related to the use of DERS)?

Thank you! Much appreciated. Alex
