Catheter misconnections involving enteral-to-IV tubing are well documented in the
patient safety literature. They often lead to severe consequences for patients and
families. Despite the recent adoption of connector design standards for enteral devices
(ENFit™), a Joint Commission Sentinel event advisory in 2014, and a consortium
of manufacturers to support compliance and rapid development of ENFit devices in hospitals
and health systems, the US response has been underwhelming at best. Initial adoption
delays associated with previously unidentified problems in clinical practice led to
the re-engineering of a new low-dose tip ENFit syringe. However, even with these improvements,
due to the complexity of the change that is required, a large number of organizations
have yet to be fully compliant with this transition—leaving patients in a vulnerable
position.
Join ISMP faculty as they review the many challenges associated
with wrong route errors, discuss the product design concerns that led to the re-engineering
of the new ISO standard and the low-dose tip syringe. Most importantly, we will highlight
the patient safety benefits to an ENFit transition. Also, hear directly from an organization
who has successfully made the ENFit transition, their practice implications, and the
lessons learned in the implementation of ENFit-compliant devices to advance patient
safety.
The intended audience for this activity includes Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians, Medication Safety and Patient Safety Officers, Quality and Risk Management Leaders, Hospital and Health System Leadership, Nursing and Pharmacy Managers and Administrators.
