Smart Pumps
Equipment used for large volume infusions (LVPs), infusion of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) medications and epidurals, and infusion of small-volume medications dispensed via a syringe; includes a drug library and dose-error reduction system to establish drug limits and prevent IV medication errors. User feedback is separated into two subgroups: EHR-integrated, which means the organization has at least one hospital live with bidirectional pump-EHR interoperability (auto-programming and auto-documentation), and traditional, which means the organization has all elements of smart pump technology in place but has not bidirectionally integrated the pumps with the EHR. KLAS' Best in KLAS rankings focus on LVPs since they handle the majority of hospital infusions. Solutions that offer only a PCA or syringe pump are given a component [C] designation.

Reducing Filters
Unlike sizing filters, reducing filters DO NOT recalculate scores based on the evaluations that meet these requirements. They narrow the list of solutions to show the vendors and solutions that can meet a specific need.
This data is based on interviews with a sample of the firms' recent clients. As a result, it is not necessarily comprehensive of all work a firm may do in this segment.
We require a minimum of 2 confirmations of a service performed in the last 3 years for a solution to qualify.
