Benefits
|
Supports
multidisciplinary nutritional support team
processes by providing user-specific features and
feedback for dosing, approval, and fulfillment of Parenteral Nutrition (PN)
|
Clinician:
Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) with full
Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS).
Pharmacist:
Workflow management, review of virtual order
with full CDSS, one-click e-approval of order.
|
Computerized Provider
Order Entry (CPOE)
|
Concise, stepwise data
entry screens are used to enforce dosing at the
point of order entry to
resolve conflicts prior to order submission, resulting in a much faster and safer
process for prescribers. Subsequent orders can be
initialized with values from a previous PN order,
permitting prescribers to make only necessary
daily adjustments, further reducing data entry
time and transcription errors.
Multidisciplinary users
can enter, review, and/or approve orders
simultaneously from any computer on the hospital
network.
Support for co-signing PN orders is available for
training institutions. Each Infusion Studio order
is digitally signed. Order documentation includes
a complete audit trail of every PN order and its
approval.
|
Intuitive order format
focused on patient’s physiologic needs
|
Order entry format mirrors
best practice process for multidisciplinary
healthcare professionals caring for PN dependent
patients with dosing recommendations and A.S.P.E.N.-compliant
labels.
Full support for development of specialized protocols to meet the
nutritional need of unique patient populations,
such as Short Bowel Syndrome, renal disease, Burn
Unit patients, Home Care patients, etc.
|
Intuitive, Pharmacist
focused order review and approval process
|
E-review process enables
pharmacists to quickly and easily review orders for
protocol adherence.
Authorized pharmacists can adjust or override
dosing limits in order to resolve occasional
conflicts caused by unusual clinical situations.
Significant improvement in patient safety is
accomplished by enforcement of dosing
limits per institutional protocols.
Provides granular quality control to the pharmacist
during order review and approval.
|
Clinical Decision Support
System (CDSS)
|
Process integration of standardized
recommendations and guidelines, supplemented by
availability of laboratory results at
point of order entry, permit best practice PN
ordering for every patient, every day.
Interactive user feedback and derived nutritional
data provided during the order process facilitates
and improves progress toward nutritional goals and
optimizes patient outcomes.
Dose limit enforcement and standardization of the
PN order, review and approval process enables
routine production of safe and cost-effective
solutions customized to meet individual patient needs.
|
Total Fluid and
Electrolyte Management
|
PN
fluid management in the context of supporting total daily
fluid goal for pediatric patients takes into account all
sources of intravascular fluids including enteral
formula volumes for patients in transition from
parenteral to enteral feeding.
Infusion Studio provides user feedback on fluid
and
electrolyte contributions from
non-nutritional fluid and enteral sources,
preventing fluid and electrolyte overload of
critically ill patients and possible adverse
consequences.
|
Additive Support
and Customization
|
Supports all standard
electrolytes and supplemental additives with the
option to float either Acetate or Chloride.
Customization of dosing
units to institutional conventions and patient
population.
Individual additives can be displayed or hidden
per institutional needs and preferences.
Enables providers to customize PN to optimally
address changing medical status and metabolic needs of
every patient, every day.
|
Configurable Safety Limits
|
Ability to create customized PN order
templates for use with specific age groups or
medical conditions.
Can support
customizable protocols to
address the unique physiology of specific disease
states.
Pharmacist-controlled override process reserved for unique
medical circumstances requiring dosing outside
of hard limits.
|
Calcium Phosphate
Precipitation Risk Assessment and Support
|
Allows pharmacists to
evaluate Ca-PO4 solubility of every order using
published amino acid-specific precipitation
curves.
|
Compounding Support
|
Infusion Studio can create
an ingredient list from an approved order, which
can be made available for manual on-site
compounding, for use by an on-site compounding
device, or that can be sent to a third-party compounding facility.
|
Comprehensive Label
Management
|
Creates the following
labels for every part of the PN fulfillment
process:
-
Fat Emulsion Label
-
PN Content Label
-
PN Ingredient List
-
PN Summary/Nutritional Progress Note
-
Perfected Order
|
Interfaces
|
Integration of patient
Admission/Discharge/Transfer status with the
hospital information system saves time and
eliminates errors in medical record-keeping.
Nutrition-sensitive serum chemistries from the hospital information system
can be displayed as seven-day trends. Context-sensitive blood chemistry values are displayed at the
point of order entry to improve patient safety and optimize
PN ordering.
Nutritional progress note,
digitally-signed CPOE order,
and nutrition summary for each order can be
transmitted for viewing in the hospital
information system.
