The Institute for Safe Medication Practices named Altamonte Springs, Fla.-based AdventHealth as a recipient of its annual Cheers Award, which recognizes excellence in medication safety.
The health system is receiving the award for its infusion pump management strategy, which has resulted in a 95% pump library compliance rate, according to a Nov. 18 news release from the ISMP.
AdventHealth operates 51 hospitals and hundreds of care facilities across nine states. The ISMP will bestow the award to the system Dec. 9 in Las Vegas.
Over the last year, AdventHealth has “incorporated smart pump integration with autoprogramming and autodocumentation” throughout its enterprise, according to the release. The effort builds on an initiative to standardize the system’s smart pump drug libraries, the creation of a multidisciplinary smart pump oversight committee and a smart pump dashboard to track metrics.
