NeoFax has been a trusted source of neonatal drug information for more than 20 years, providing evidence-based content for hundreds of drugs. These monographs are created and updated based on extensive literature surveillance and literature evaluations processes. Drug monographs include neonatal-specific information such as dose, administration, uses, black box warning, contraindications/precautions, adverse effects, monitoring, pharmacology, special considerations/preparation, and drug and solution compatibilities. The evidence-based, fully referenced neonatal-specific drug information enables clinicians to make informed treatment decisions.

Drug-dosing calculators incorporate evidence-based, age- and indication-specific dose recommendations to provide accurate dosage calculations for every drug in the NeoFax solution. The calculators incorporate appropriate default dosage values (dose, interval, rate, concentration) with the flexibility to edit values when clinically appropriate. Warning messages are provided for out-of-range entered values in order to eliminate the risk for inadvertent over- or under-doses. Dosage calculations and drug orders are associated with the specific patients within the NeoFax Premier solution, and completed drug orders are saved within the patient’s drug order history.
Dosing calculator utilities functionality allows for organization-specific customization of default dose and high- and low-dose ranges, concentration, and rate of administration. Additionally, customized notes can be added to individual dosing calculators NeoFax Premier provides greater clinical accuracy and reliability in drug dosing, reduces drug dosing errors, and reduces the likelihood of preventable drug-related adverse events.

The Parenteral Nutrition Order Entry System features an electronic order form that provides a step-by-step process for evaluating and ordering each component of the parenteral nutrition order. Includes Help information and suggested ranges for each nutrient value, consistent units, calculations for calories provided, and evaluation of calcium/phosphorus solubility during the order entry process so that modifications can be made and results of changes can be evaluated.
The PN order system provides the safeguards necessary to improve processes for providing this ‘high-alert medication’ and was developed based on best practice recommendations from organizations such as ISMP and A.S.P.E.N. This safe and efficient parenteral nutrition system enables clinicians to provide neonatal patients with adequate nutrition, while avoiding medical complications and potential adverse events.
| • |
System improves workflow and reduces redundancies by providing single source access for PN ordering, verifying, and messaging to the compounder |
| • |
Provides warning messages for out-of-range nutrient values, IV line-type and dextrose concentrations, and potentially insoluble calcium/phosphorus ratios |
| • |
Includes additional calculations for osmolarity, aluminum exposure, and bag weight QA |
| • |
Utilities functionality allows for organization-specific customization of minimum bag volume and overfill, amino acid types, vitamins and trace elements, as well as recommended nutrient ranges and override abilities |
| • |
System provides clear and complete PN order labels which include nutrients and fluid ordered per kg/day and per/day, compounding volumes and concentrations for all ingredients, over fill volume, and calories provided (total, carbohydrate, protein, fat) |
| • |
Saves clinicians time in calculating, ordering, verifying parenteral nutrition |
| • |
Labels for parenteral nutition order and compounding instructions |
| • |
Clear and easy-to-read calculations can be obtained and sent to designated locations for printing |
| • |
