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.
Sentri7 integrates with both PrecisePK and DoseMeRx to review patient-specific parenteral dose recommendations calculated automatically using key clinical data such as patient weight, laboratory values, creatinine levels, and drug administration times.
