24. Bringing Hospital-Grade Safety to Home Infusion

Medication safety software, often referred to as Dose Error Reduction Software (DERS), has traditionally been viewed as a tool exclusive to hospitals. However, this perspective is rapidly changing. In this engaging session, we will challenge conventional thinking about safety software and explore how it can bring hospital-grade protection to home infusion therapy. Discover how DERS not only reduces medication errors but also can seamlessly integrate with home infusion workflows to minimize risk, ensure compliance, and safeguard your organization. Whether you are a clinician, administrator, or infusion provider, this session will empower you with the knowledge and strategies to deliver highly reliable, safe infusion care beyond the hospital walls and into patients’ homes.
