Optimizing Vancomycin dosing with Bayesian methods

Dose optimization and monitoring of medications are complex. Clinicians must evaluate and act on patient-specific factors that influence pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Sentri7® Pharmacy supports personalized vancomycin dosing and other medications to enhance patient safety and streamline pharmacy workflows.

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.

Enhance Bayesian Dosing with Sentri7 and precision dosing partners

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. Integrated precisions dosing solutions with Sentri7 provide an easy path to implement ASHP’s 2020 recommendation for dosing and monitoring vancomycin. Here's what you can expect with our partners' Bayesian dosing solution integrations with Sentri7:

health-laptop-basic
Automated parenteral dose recommendations
Review patient-specific parenteral dose recommendations calculated automatically with a single click. 
search-desktop-basic
Evidence-based antimicrobial stewardship
Assess medication use and ensure prescribing is in line with AMS goals and the CDC’s Core Elements. 
user-alarm-basic
Proactive kidney injury monitoring
Proactively monitor for adjustments and reduce the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) with dose recommendations. 
screen-checks-basic
Streamlined pharmacist workflow
Obtain dose recommendations in seconds by leveraging patient data pulled automatically from Sentri7. 
health-medicine-jar-basic
Individualized dose calculation
Calculate individualized doses from as little as one vancomycin level with algorithms that account for variation. 
health-cross-basic
Standardized care and compliance
Standardize care with data-driven dose optimization and increase proportion of patients in therapeutic range.
