6/24/26 Alaris Pumps from other facilities

June 24, 2026


 

Hello all,
I wanted to pass on some information from the CNO. Now that some other hospitals in the system have Alaris pumps (Crestwood and DeKalb), some of their pumps are coming with patients transferred here. These hospitals have different drug libraries with different drug concentrations and dosing. If you get a call from a nurse asking why their pump doesn't have the right drugs or doses, please suggest that they double-check that they are using an HH pump.
