Compliance with safety features on smart pumps with drug libraries is a challenge for health care systems. Noncompliance and workarounds heighten the risk for adverse drug events and subsequent costs of patient care. This quality improvement project describes a pump champion innovation implemented over a 6-month period. There was a significant increase in nurses' compliance to drug library software in smart pumps and a decrease in severe harms averted.
