The Guardrails® Editor Software is a PC based authoring tool that allows the hospital to manage how IV medications can be programmed on the infusion system by setting limits on the rates, doses, and concentrations that are appropriate for a given patient care area. The Editor allows the hospital to develop a best-practice data set of IV medication dosing guidelines for up to 10 patient specific care areas, refered to as profiles. The hospital’s customized data set is developed to help protect patients from infusion programming errors by allowing hospitals to configure each profile with pre-defined drug dose limits and other parameters to meet the particular needs of multiple patient care areas within the hospital. Clinical advisory message can be created for a designated drug to remind the clinician of specific standard of practice when programming this IV medication. Also, profile-specific Alaris® System operating parameters can be customized for each module using the Editor. Once completed and released, a hospital’s customized data set can be transferred to the Alaris® System.

The Guardrails® CQI Reporter provides query and reporting capabilities for the Guardrails® Suite. The PC based application provides the hospital with a basic standard reporting package that can then be utilized in the medication administration and quality improvement process to monitor events outside best practice guidelines.
