How Can Technology Aid in Double Check Calculations?
Advancements in healthcare technology offer several tools to assist with double check calculations: - Electronic Health Records (EHR): Integrated EHR systems can provide automated alerts and prompts for double checks. - Barcoding Systems: Barcoding patients' wristbands and medications can help verify that the correct dose is administered to the right patient. - Smart Infusion Pumps: These devices can perform dose calculations and provide real-time warnings if the programmed dose exceeds safety limits.
