What is the maximum number of unit dose oral liquid packages (syringes, cups) that your organization would dispense from pharmacy subsequent to a patient order? In this scenario, the nurse would pool the multiple packages into a single oral syringe or cup for patient administration (vs. pharmacy pooling and sending the dose patient-specific).

For example, would you dispense 6x ibuprofen 100 mg/5 mL cups to fulfil a 600 mg order?

Appreciate your feedback!

Are you converting to the ENFit enteral feeding and medication products? What is your timeline for conversion? If you have converted, any tips on a smooth transition?

Thank you,
Ann
