We recently implemented IV smart pumps with a provincial drug library. We have several patients on home TPN, for whom we've also ordered new pumps. I'm just wondering for any sites who use IV smart pumps with drug libraries, do you also provide a drug library for your home TPN patients, or do you have them continue to manually program their pumps volumetrically (mL/h)? We're thinking of creating a separate smaller library specific to the home TPN patients. It will require some retraining, so we're weighing which option would be easiest for patients to learn to program, and thus be less risky.

I'm open to any input anyone may have.Thanks in advance!
