Patient Safety Warning Systems
Instinct is equipped with smart dosing calculators and medication safety warnings to ensure patients are receiving a safe and effective treatment dose! Included in your initial onboarding, we add Patient Safety Warnings data for common medications which are reviewed by our group of specialists. After your Instinct Go-Live, any Patient Safety Warnings can be added or adjusted by someone on your admin team.
How it works:
Instinct will show a carefully designed/subtle warning if a user orders a medication dose outside of specified ranges. We have chosen a group of commonly utilized drugs to start with, and have created clinically relevant default safety parameters for each one (specifically, ranges for dosage that are considered to be safe and effective based on both literature reports and a practical clinical layer reviewed by specialists). These dosing ranges are set by species and please note that this data will only be provided for canine and feline species at the moment.
You can always bypass the warnings by selecting ‘Ignore + Order’.
💡 ProTip: If the patient’s weight changes, the dose will not automatically change. The mg/kg dosage will change on the calculator but a human needs to add the quantity.
