Implementation of an intravenous medication infusion pump system: implications for nursing

Abstract

Infusion pumps are perceived by nurses to enhance safe nursing practice. Results stress the importance of management teams in sociotechnological transformations and their impact on job satisfaction among nurses.

Nurses' attitudes towards medical devices in healthcare delivery: a systematic review

“…) with nurses reporting that the devices enhanced their ability to provide quality nursing care (Bowcutt et al . ), increased nurses' self‐confidence (Bowcutt et al . , Rosenkoetter et al .…”

Quality-improvement analytics for intravenous infusion pumps

“…[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Even less information is available describing the unique challenges health systems encounter when attempting to establish a smart-pump CQI initiative, such as the inclusion of numerous and diverse practice sites (e.g., both urban and community acute care hospitals); the location of system facilities across an expanded geographic area; variations in facility leadership, policies, and educational programs; and the use of multiple smart-pump drug libraries.…”

Perceptions of the Impact of “Smart Pumps” on Nurses and Nursing Care Provided

“…The findings reported here are from an IRB approved multiphase study that included pre-testing the perceptions of hospital staff nurses regarding the anticipated impact of pump technology implementation on life patterns and job satisfaction (Phase I) (Bowcutt, et al, 2008) and post-testing their perceptions of the actual impact (Phase II), as well as assessing the perceptions of nurse managers regarding the impact of the implementation of device pumps (Phase III). The study reported here is based on the findings of Phase II.…”
