Drug Limit Library (DLL) – Wireless Update Downloading new drug limit library (DLL) wirelessly Manual process to complete the update Power cycling
Data Study: How Fast Do Pumps Update?
Data Study: Findings from Pump Status Reports We followed pump status patterns of 3 update cycles (total of 80 days) for one hospital (686 pumps) 251 (36.58%) pumps were current at the end of all three update cycles. All of these were on average current for only 54 days (67.6%) out of 80. Only 13 pumps (1.8%) were current more than 80% of the time (64 days). 159 (23.17%) pumps were NEVER current during entire three update cycles. Systems/process failure– information and physical workflows need to be re-designed, coordinated and integrated
