Bainbridge Health and Purdue University Collaborate to Advance the Infusion Pump Industry

Collaboration will form the leading infusion pump management platform and community in the United States

PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA, June 28, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today Bainbridge Health and Purdue University announced a strategic collaboration to standardize infusion data management for the health-system, medical device, and pharmaceutical industries.

Through the agreement, Bainbridge Health will assume Purdue University’s REMEDI CatalyzeCare application into Bainbridge’s Med O.S.^® infusion management platform, forming the largest infusion network in the industry. REMEDI is Purdue’s evidence-based community of practice for medical device informatics aimed at patient safety and medication quality. Together the two organizations serve hundreds of hospitals across three countries. Highlights of the agreement include:

● Bainbridge Health will assume the REMEDI CatalyzeCare application into Bainbridge’s Med O.S.^® data science platform, forming the first standard for infusion data management in the industry.
● Bainbridge will collaborate closely with Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering to develop advanced capabilities leveraging Regenstrief’s unique resources in computing, advanced statistics and artificial intelligence.
● The organizations will partner on novel research to accelerate the speed and quality of academic research and contribute to the clinical evidence base.
● The organizations will provide insights to device manufacturers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and 503(b) compounders to standardize medication concentrations and dispense volumes to address ongoing supply chain constraints and bolster forecasting and production planning.
● The organizations will spearhead the development of industry standards, including common definitions used in infusion data analysis.

“Innovation requires partnership and collaboration. No single entity has all the resources and capabilities to truly usher in the next wave of innovation. We have long been admirers of the infusion community Dr. Dan Degnan and his team at Purdue have spearheaded over the years, and we are incredibly honored to continue their tradition,” said Joseph Kaupp, CEO of Bainbridge Health.

Pavlos Vlachos, director of the Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering said, “Partnering with Bainbridge is the next step in the evolution of the REMEDI program, building upon the Regenstrief Center’s vision and success towards improving medication safety. University-industry partnerships such as this are excellent vehicles to translate advanced technological solutions and innovations from the academic ecosystem into medical practice, to serve the community and help improve patient outcomes.”

Medication errors remain a leading cause of patient harm in the hospital setting, with more than 50% of administration errors leading to injury at the administration phase [1]. A recent ISMP survey found that while most clinicians believe the analysis of infusion pump data is important for quality and safety improvement, nearly 80% of respondents felt their organizations do not have the time, tools and resources to extract meaningful insights from infusion pump data [2].
