The Basic Formulation
Process
|
|
The clinician enters
parenteral nutrition orders on any workstation that
has access to the Infusion Studio system.
Patient Demographics are pre-populated and serum
chemistries are visible in Infusion Studio via communication with your
hospital information system. |
|
|
Pharmacist reviews and
approves the PN order from any workstation that has
access to the Infusion Studio system. |
|
|
PN bag
labels are printed locally at the hospital. |
|
|
PN summary and CPOE
orders are sent to the hospital information system or can be printed locally. |
|
|
The approved PN order
can be formulated in any of the following methods:
- The order can be
compounded manually from the ingredient list.
- The ingredient
list can be made available to semi-automated compounding devices.
- The
order can be sent electronically to CAPS
or other off-site facility for fulfillment.

Protocols
An unlimited number of clinical protocols can be configured
to allow for precision in parenteral
nutrition administration.
For example, specific protocols can be
configured that are specific for clinical service, patient
disease state, physician practice, or nutritional status. Each protocol can be set with soft and
hard limits for each available additive so that
unacceptable dosing, infusion rates, or end-concentrations cannot be
ordered. Examples of our standard age-based
protocols are: "Premie-Day-One," Neonatal,
Pediatric, and Adult (Salt- or Ion-based electrolyte
ordering) to support inpatient or Home Pharmacy
processes.
Formulary
Any
part of the hospital formulary can be made available to
each protocol in use at your institution.
Reduction in Medical
Errors
Several key factors have been demonstrated to
significantly reduce the mortality and morbidity of
parenteral nutrition:
|
|
Use of a standardized process across all
age groups and patient types |
|
|
Pre-printed order sheet
that reflects ordered PN additives in a standardized
format |
|
|
Management of total fluids
and electrolytes for infants and children |
|
|
Standardized label format
for all patients and protocols |
|
|
User feedback of derivative nutritional
values for fat, protein, and carbohydrate at point of
order entry |
|
|
Availability of context-sensitive serum
chemistries and institutional dosing recommendations at
point of order entry |
|
|
CPOE direct-access by
clinical providers and elimination of secondary manual-entry processes that can
create transcription errors |
Reports
Customizable reports can be developed and made available
to the hospital for internal quality audits, inventory
tracking, and personnel management. |
