Quantifying Patient Safety: Compliance, Alerts, and Good Catches with Smart Pump Interoperability

By Joanne Hatfield, PharmD, BCPS on August 19, 2026

In this webinar, we will explore differences between health systems that utilize smart pump interoperability and those that do not. By looking at key performance areas from the National Infusion Collaborative—including compliance, alert behaviors, and errors prevented (good catches), we can better understand how integration may impact the care environment and patient safety.

In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, patient safety and operational efficiency are top priorities for health systems. While smart pump technology has become a standard tool for medication administration, the gap between manually programming smart infusion pumps and fully integrated systems is widening.

This 30-minute session shared data and experiences from a broad network of hospitals, including:

  • An update on Dose Error Reduction Software (DERS) and Interoperability compliance trends

  • A comparison of alert volumes and clinician response trends

  • The impact of interoperability on preventing potential programming errors
