A medication infusion system having an integrated dose rate calculation feature for selectively assigning values to a plurality of infusion parameters and automatically calculating an infusion rate from the selected parameters. One embodiment includes a stored list of drug names having associated dose rate and concentration units that are automatically set when a drug name is selected from the list. Another embodiment includes "Fast" softkeys that can be programmed to display parameter values or drug names in a predetermined sequence. The dose rate calculation feature may also be used during infusion to titrate the dosage being delivered to the patient for improved therapeutic results. The stored list of drug names and associated infusion parameters may be altered by qualified personnel using an external programming source running specialized software.
