KLAS Research recognizes Plum 360 as Best in
KLAS for the sixth straight year, highlighting ICU Medical's
commitment to providing constantly high levels of service and value
to its customers
SAN
CLEMENTE, Calif., Feb. 8, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- ICU Medical Inc., a worldwide leader in the
development, manufacture, and sale of innovative medical devices,
today announced its Plum 360 smart infusion system is the first to
be recognized as the top-performing smart pump in both the
EMR-Integrated and Traditional categories by KLAS Research, a
leading global health care research firm. This is the sixth
straight year the Plum 360 has been recognized as Best in KLAS and
the first time any IV Smart Pump has been honored in both
categories.
The Plum 360 has won a Best in KLAS award every year that it has
been eligible and is the only smart infusion system to win the
Smart Pump EMR-Integrated category.
"The 2023 Best in KLAS report highlights the top-performing
healthcare IT solutions as determined by extensive evaluations and
conversations with thousands of healthcare providers," said
Adam Gale, president of KLAS
Research. "These distinguished winners have demonstrated
exceptional dedication to improving and innovating the industry,
and their efforts are recognized through their inclusion in this
report. Congratulations to all the winning vendors for setting the
bar for excellence in healthcare IT. KLAS continues to be committed
to creating transparency and helping providers make informed
decisions through our accurate, honest, and impartial
reporting."
The Plum 360's Best in KLAS award as the top-performing Smart
Pump EMR-Integrated underscores how closely aligned the Plum 360 is
with the latest industry guidelines for interoperable infusion
systems, including those published by the Institute for Safe
Medication Practices (ISMP), the Emergency Care Research Institute
(ECRI), and those required to receive UL Cybersecurity Assurance
Program (UL CAP) certification. And
receiving the same award for stand-alone IV smart pumps reinforces
the importance of the core differentiating features of the Plum
360.
"While nearly 180 clinical sites are utilizing the Plum 360 as
an interoperable device, there are still very significant
advantages when used without interoperability," explained
Dan Woolson, corporate vice
president and general manager of ICU Medical Infusion Systems.
"Features like secondary drug delivery, air-in-line management, and
drug library compliance are important as stand-alone features. In
an interoperable environment, they are amplified and further
enhance safety by helping health care providers reduce medication
errors, improve quality of care, streamline workflows, and maximize
revenue capture."
Woolson added that Plum 360's dual awards by KLAS as the #1
market-leading smart pump "helps to demonstrate the consistently
high levels of service that ICU Medical provides to its customers—a
commitment to service carries through to all the products we
provide."
