BD Alaris™ EMR Interoperability
Enables standardization, helps reduce inefficiencies and error prone manual steps
Did you know?
- 60% of smart pump IV infusions had at least one error associated with their administration1
- Data review of infusion related errors by ECRI showed only 28% of infusion errors can be avoided with DERS alone2
- Delays in data entry can result in incorrect treatment and possible patient harm3
Many errors go unidentified through Dose error reduction software (DERS), such as4:
- Wrong Patient
- Wrong Drug
- Wrong Concentration
- Wrong Initial Dose / Rate
- Unordered Drug Administered
- Wrong Weight
- Documentation Errors
Let’s partner together to improve patient safety and help our clinicians optimize workflow efficiencies
75% of infusion-related medication errors can be avoided with interoperability5
How it works
Overview
Safety
Efficiency
Automation
Only BD offers bi-directional interoperability for Pump (LVP) and Syringe modalities on one platform. BD’s connectivity is uniquely designed to provide reliable, scalable, secure communication to support safe and effective infusion therapy.
It pre-populates order parameters from the electronic medical record (EMR) to infusion modules eliminating manual steps and chances of errors.
It then sends infusion status data from the infusion module to the EMR to support accurate and timely documentation to support clinical decision making.
With BD Alaris’™ EMR bi-directional Interoperability functionality, users can achieve Auto-programming and Auto-documentation capabilities for the above.
We have the expertise to partner with you and support you at every step of your journey!

The BD Alaris™ Infusion System offers a single, centralized user interface for multiple types of infusions, giving your care team a centralized view that can help your team work as one.
Our unique, modular approach enables you to create automated workflows that can improve medication and easily scale your infusion needs with interoperability across your entire health system.
Lean on BD Alaris™ Infusion System as a modular and comprehensive system, as your teams work together, move in sync — that’s the Power of One.
We are on a journey to zero harm, embracing the philosophy that even one error is one too many.
BD Alaris™ is the market leader in interoperability.
We’ve pursued interop solutions with other vendors and they don’t even come close to BD’s capabilities, expertise and strength. BD offers us a proven, trusted solution that makes it easier to collaborate with others and bring on staff quickly.
In today’s healthcare reality, hospital resources are stretched which may potentially impact patient care.
