Bayesian Dosing for Vancomycin

Dosing and monitoring of vancomycin is complex, requiring clinicians to evaluate patient-specific factors that influence pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.

With the combined power of Sentri7 and DoseMeRx, access personalized vancomycin dosing to enhance patient safety and streamline pharmacy workflow.

Streamline Vancomycin Dosing with Sentri7 and DoseMeRx

Vancomycin is one of the most used antibiotics in hospitals today. Traditionally, calculating precise vancomycin doses for patients requires coordination among pharmacists, nurses, and phlebotomists, as well as manual data entry that is time-consuming and prone to errors.

With one click, review patient-specific parenteral vancomycin dose recommendations calculated automatically using data such as patient weight, laboratory values, creatinine levels, and administration times.

Access faster, more precise calculations to proactively monitor for adjustments and reduce a patient’s risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). The integrated solution provides dose recommendations via data pulled directly from Sentri7.

Streamline Workflow

Pharmacists can obtain dose recommendations in seconds by leveraging patient data pulled automatically from Sentri7 – with no additional data entry.

Fewer Drug Levels

From as little as one vancomycin level, calculate an individualized dose. Drug levels can also be taken over a wider window of time – as algorithms account for variation.

Decrease Clinical Variation

Standardize care with a data-driven approach to dose optimization, and increased proportion of patients in therapeutic range.

Comply with ASHP’s vancomycin guidelines

Using DoseMeRx integrated with Sentri7 provides an easy path to implement ASHP’s 2020 recommendation for dosing and monitoring vancomycin.

Why Bayesian dosing?

Bayesian dosing uses patient data and laboratory results to estimate a patient's ability to absorb, process, and clear a drug from their system. Using a clinically validated population model, algorithms adjust the pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic parameters so that a patient-specific, individualized drug model is built. This individual model is then used to provide a patient-specific dosing recommendation to reach a therapeutic target.
