	Issues and Questions List ID Title Solution Status Priority Discussion 1 Zero Pumps Transfusion Management/Care. Fusion Active High 2 24 Hour Intake Transfusion Management/Care. Fusion Active High How often should a nurse zero the Alaris Pump and at what point? How will the 24 hour intake work on various units? Will this be standardized? High What weight will be used? Weights used today vary by unit, by med, by physician to calculate dose and rate. 3 Weight Transfusion Management/Care. Fusion Active Category Resolution Due Date Policy/Procedure sort resolved, grey 4 Wireless Networks Transfusion Management/Care. Fusion Resolved High Is there a wireless network in all areas? IT 5 Nursing Involvement Transfusion Management/Care. Fusion Resolved High Will nursing be involved in how things are built in Pharmacy Project Yes, wireless networking is available in all areas Yes, nursing involvement will be requested for specific questions, and the Clinical Strategist will also attend all meetings 6 Kickoff Power. Point Transfusion Management/Care. Fusion Resolved High Will nursing get a copy of the Kickoff Power. Point? Project Helen Jankowski sent Power. Points on 5/10/2013 IT UM does use i. Aware, but it is only above the heads of beds in ICU's. This is called the i. Aware dashboard but we don't have the i. Aware that is available in this project. 7 UM i. Aware Usage Transfusion Management Resolved Low Does the University of Missouri use i. Aware now? Transfusion Management/Care. Fusion Resolved High Can you alter what is in the order for the pump? For example, can you change the weight? Functionality Infusion Management 9 Screen Transfusion Management/Care. Fusion Resolved Low How do you get to the infusion mangament screen? Order Alteration on 8 Alaris Pump 10 MAR questions Transfusion Management/Care. Fusion Resolved Medium Assigned To SR Functionality Can you do everything from the MAR? Functionality Technically, you can change the weight, but changing the weight will change the dose. This was a question stemming from Issue 3, as it was hoped that the weight used could be changed without changing the dose on the Alaris Pump. Issue 3 is still unresolved. i. Aware link will be a button on the toolbar a. You can do all scanning from the MAR b. You must go to i. Aware to confirm the information from the pump on the MAR c. Information then flows to the I&O tab in i. View Created By/Contact
