Just FYI. The second round of Alaris pump roll-out occurred this morning. Main nursing units should be approaching 100% Alaris pump use in the next several days. You may get some questions about stepped infusions as the Hospira Plum Pumps start disappearing. You may refer pump questions to me if you don't know the answer.

Good Morning,

Women’s and Children’s roll out of Alaris pumps went very well this morning, thank you to everyone who pitched in to help!
Additional poles were deployed yesterday to the units who needed them.
Nursing units at Main will begin seeing the transition to 100% Alaris as the distribution team replaces your Hospira’s when they make rounds on the units.
Attached is the Pump Distribution flyer to reference. We have added an even exchange when transferring patients between W&C and Main.

Janie Fielder and Emily Farmer with BD are making rounds on the units now if you have any questions at all.

Thank you,
Arin
