Hello! We are currently evaluating our processes for how potassium chloride is administered at our OP Infusion and Oncology centers and looking to compare our practices with other facilities.

For both types of settings:

Do you utilize only manufactured IVPB or do you allow compounding of custom concentrations?

Do you have policy regarding the maximum concentration that will be utilized for peripheral vs central line or port? Do you utilize the same minimum concentration regardless of type of IV access available?

Hello all,

If your organization has outpatient oncology infusion centers, do you have any established metrics around error reporting? We are working with a multidisciplinary team on what that would look like and how we can normalize the data to compare sites of different sizes. Some studies report error rates per 100 clinic visits or 1,000 medication orders.

Does anyone have a similar metric for outpatient infusion error reporting?

Thanks,
Gina Gayed
