NCT06695169
Brief Summary:
This study looks at the effects of using "smart pumps" that connect with the Electronic Health Record (EHR) in 8 adult ICU units.
We will interview nurses and healthcare team members to learn about any challenges with this technology.
All nurses in these units will be invited to complete a survey on how easy the technology is to use.
Some nurses will practice giving medications to "mannequins" in a simulation lab to see how they work with the pumps.
We will also look at existing data to find out how many nurses use the technology and what types of alerts or errors come up.
Finally, we will review patient charts to see if using the technology has increased or decreased errors in recording IV medication amounts.
Detailed Description:
This mixed-methods design study focuses on understanding the complexity and consequences of implementing the integrated smart pumps-EHR technology in 8 adult acute and intensive care units (ICUs) using a comprehensive evaluation approach. The evaluation will include (1) analyzing use manifestations in terms of nurse adoption, alarms, alerts, and error messages associated with technology use, (2) examining the usability of the integrated technology, and (3) identifying influential factors that facilitate or hinder technology adoption.
