Trending Topics with Smart Infusion Pump Libraries

By Joanne Hatfield, PharmD, BCPS on February 12, 2025

As we enter 2025, we've been tracking a number of topics from our daily interactions with hospitals. These include: managing infusion data, interoperability, hospital mergers, and transitioning to a new infusion pump platform. 

In this 30-minute fireside chat with Ali Popowski, Pharm.D., BCPS, Informatics Specialist at Piedmont Healthcare, we learned more about their smart infusion pump journey across their health system, including how they navigated these scenarios.

The discussion will include:

  • Library adjustments to consider when merging hospitals

  • Consolidation of libraries when transitioning to a new infusion pump platform

  • Lessons learned throughout interoperability implementation, including post-implementation monitoring

Notable Time Stamps:

  • 12:10 - Interop discussion
  • 24:04 - Library update process
