The findings from this paper adds value to the body of knowledge about smart infusion pump use and practice, supporting how disruptive infusion pump alarms and alerts can be to nursing workflows and patient safety in clinical settings. Moreover, risk factors for these alarms and alerts have been identified, ensuring that clinicians are aware of these contributory factors to workflow interruptions while using smart infusion pumps. Consequently, hospital management can apply this approach to deploy efficient risk strategies and quality improvement initiatives that prioritize safe medication infusion processes.
