Epic Labels & Small Oral Syringes
As a pediatric hospital that has recently transitioned to Epic, we are encountering challenges with the application of multiple labels (three or four) on our smaller oral syringes (0.5 mL and 1 mL). Our nursing staff is reporting that these labels do not adhere well and frequently detach from the syringes. I am interested in learning how other institutions are addressing this issue. What strategies or best practices have you found effective for labeling small-volume oral syringes?
Thank you!
Nick
