ISMP Best Practice 8b - Infusion pump guardrail compliance

ISMP best practice 8b states "Maintain a 95% or greater compliance rate for the use of dose error-reduction systems".

1. Has your organization achieved the 95% goal? If not, what is your guardrail compliance?

2. If using Alaris pumps do you use "guardrail compliance", "total suite usage guardrail compliance", or unknown?

3. Are you currently live with pump interoperability?

Thank you!
