SMART pump library utilization -- Pediatrics

For organizations that care for pediatric patients, can you answer the following questions as it relates to smart pump libraries?

1. Are you a free standing children's hospital or pediatric unit within an adult hospital?

2. Do you utilize dose error reduction software (ie Guardrails, Pharmguard)  in your pediatric patients?

  • If yes, how frequently do you assess and update the library?
  • If no, what are the barriers to using the software?

Thanks

Sean
