We continue to have reports of IV calcium and IV phosphate being ran in the same line with some precipitation noted. We have instructions on both orders indicating to avoid running theses two in the same line and have clinical advisories at the pump as well. Are there any other strategies people have used to try and help prevent this from happening? In a couple cases the IV calcium and IV phosphate had the same administration due time. Is it an expectation that pharmacists are evaluating this upon verifcation and retiming if needed? Any alerts created to help notify pharmacist to review this? Thanks!
