Responsibility for smart pumps

Hello,

In your institutions, who is responsible for training, establishing procedures and surveillance of smart pumps? Is it nursing, pharmacy, a dedicated interdisciplinary committee?

This would help us to find out how other health care systems have succeeded in assigning the required ressources to support safe use of smart pumps.

We are a complex, public health care system in Québec including 7 short acute care hospitals for a population of 450 000.

Thanks.
