Baxter Study Finds Smart Infusion Pump EMR Integration Boosts Patient Safety and Bedside Productivity

Baxter International Inc. announced the results of a clinical analysis conducted in collaboration with The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB Health), evaluating the impact of smart infusion pump integration with hospital electronic medical records (EMRs) on patient safety and nursing productivity. The study analyzed more than one million infusions using Baxter's Spectrum IQ large volume infusion pumps across six UTMB hospitals over a three-year period. Findings showed a decrease in the frequency of all evaluated safety alerts following EMR integration, including a 50.3% reduction in DERS hard limit alerts, a 30.4% reduction in soft limit alerts, and a 38.1% reduction in single step rate change alerts. The results also indicated higher compliance with drug library use and auto-programming after EMR integration. These data were presented at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2025 Midyear Clinical Meeting, held December 7-10, 2025.
