Has anyone transitioned to the U-500 KwikPens at your facility since the discontinuation of the vial?
If so, I’d appreciate learning more about:
- Risk‑mitigating strategies implemented during and after the transition
- Nursing education and rollout approach (e.g., is education provided with each dispense)
- Pen needle supply – who provides them (pharmacy vs. unit supply)
- Storage and handling of pens once dispensed to the patient care area
- Auditing and monitoring processes used post‑implementation
Any lessons learned, challenges encountered, or recommendations would be extremely helpful. Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences!
