Schaeffer R - Mirroring the focus of the overall industry, St. Clair Hospital (St. Clair) has dedicated its efforts to ensuring patient safety. The hospital has had bar code point-of-care (BPOC) installed since March 2004, but wanted to further close the loop on medication administration. As such, in April 2007, St. Clair created an interdisciplinary team comprised of nursing, pharmacy, risk management, bio-med, IT and materials management to evaluate how smart infusion technology could further reduce the risk of medication administration errors. In addition, the team would make sure that any new technology would align with existing patient care processes that ensure the "seven rights" of medication administration (e.g., right patient, right medication, right dose, right time, right route, right reason and right documentation).
