As infusion therapy continues its shift from hospital to ambulatory infusion centers and home settings, the standards for medication safety, documentation accuracy, and operational efficiency must follow. In this article published in WeInfuse Magazine (Winter 2026), infusion nursing expert Pamela Jones McIntyre, MSN, RN, CRNI®, IgCN®, OCN®, VA-BCTM, makes a compelling case for the adoption of connected smart pump solutions, the kind of technology at the heart of Eitan Medical's Sapphire™ infusion pump. McIntyre examines the risks of medication errors in IV therapy, the limitations of manual documentation, and how remote visibility to infusion data and automated data capture are redefining best practices across ambulatory infusion centers and home infusion programs - streamlining clinician workflows and enhancing the patient experience. As McIntyre puts it: "When solutions exist to enhance patient safety and operational resilience, embracing them becomes a professional and ethical imperative."
