Smart Pump Integration and Independent Double Check (IDC)

Greetings!

Wondering, for those sites that have implemented / gone live with smart pump interoperability -

1. What pump / EHR combination do you have?

2. Did you change anything with regards to nursing Independent Double Check (IDC) practice / policy with pump integration? (i.e., did you reduce or eliminate the requirement for IDCs and if so, did this happen concurrently, after go-live, etc.)

3. Did your pumps require any specific designation or build related to IDC - and what direction was taken? (i.e., does pump start before a dual sign occurs or will it only start after a dual sign is completed in the EHR)?

Thank you so much in advance for your shared experiences / insight!
Emily
