Evaluation of Smart Pump Interoperability with an Electronic Medical Record System to Improve Infusion Safety.

Medications administered via intravenous (IV) infusions have high potential for patient harm. Evaluation of the rate of variances between the medication order on the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and IV infusion details in the smart pump was performed pre and post- implementation of smart pump and EMR interoperability. Introduction of smart pumps with EMR interoperability resulted in a statistically significant reduction in frequency of variances.

SCAT3 changes from baseline and associations with X2 Patch measured head acceleration in amateur Australian football players.

Objectives: To investigate changes from baseline on SCAT3 as a result of football game exposure, and association with X2 Patch measured head acceleration events in amateur Australian footballers.

Design: Prospective cohort.

Methods: Peak linear acceleration (PLA) of the head (>10 g) was measured by wearable head acceleration sensor X2 Biosystems X-Patch in male (n=34) and female (n=19) Australian footballers.
