Hi All,

We are doing our annual review of our Look Alike/Sound alike policy and list, as required by TJC. We currently post our list at our pyxis machines, but are rethinking the utility of printing and posting it. The original intention was for nurses to be able to reference it day to day and when TJC arrives. We have been cited for having an ‘old list’ posted, even though reviewed and not changed.

Hello,

Does anyone have products in their hospital that are available in syringes with colored plunger rods?

Does anyone purchase empty syringes with colored plunger rods for their own compounding? If so, what are you using them for? (e.g., OR medications, crash carts, RSI Kits)

Does anyone think using colored plungers would be helpful in differentiating medications? If so, which medications would it be useful for?
