Most smart pumps today garner fairly high overall satisfaction, yet factors such as EMR interoperability, total cost of ownership, and platform consolidation lead to high variability in how often different vendors are considered. Examining 36 smart pump purchase decisions made in the last 18 months, this report considers each vendor’s market energy and the reasons smart pumps are being considered, selected, and replaced.

Bidirectional EMR Integration

What Connections Have Customers Validated?

BD and ICU Medical are the market leaders in bidirectional EMR integration, with BD having a significant lead in number of customers live. Being able to integrate successfully with core clinical systems is a key factor in many, if not most, new smart pump purchase decisions and is directly correlated with customer retention. Once an organization is live with the integration, the chance that they will replace their smart pump vendor is very low.

Integration a Performance Differentiator for BD and ICU Medical,
but Not in the Same Way

BD customers who are live with bidirectional EMR integration are slightly less satisfied than other BD customers. Some report implementation and training issues, saying that BD didn’t take the steps necessary to ensure that users successfully learned the system. In contrast, the limited number of interviewed ICU Medical customers who are live with integration are very pleased with the attention and hand-holding they received from ICU Medical. No other vendors have enough customers live with integration for differences between interoperable and non-interoperable sites to be examined.
