Good afternoon,
We are preparing for EHR-Infusion Pump interoperability and wanted to know if anyone did an FMEA prior to their interoperability implementation. If you did do you mind sharing with me?
For outpatient/ambulatory settings, what is your process for treatment of anaphylaxis? Do you stock anaphylaxis kits w/vial, epi-pens, singular items in your regular med storage? Do you have standing orders in place?
Intrigued at what other institutions are doing well that we can learn from as we analyze our processes.
Has anyone ever reviewed their list of repackaged medications to ensure they are suitable for repackaging (i.e. moisture degradation, light sensitivity analysis). If so, I'd be curious to learn how you went about doing it?
Our health-system repackages around 650 different medications and we are about to begin a full audit.
Does anyone currently have a Hospital at Home program? If so can you share how you handle patient own medication orders (labeling, checking integrity, etc.).
With this season's flu clinics we will be offering both flu and Covid shots on the same day, using different arms.
Brainstorming recommendations for safely conducting vaccine clinics using 2 or more vaccines for the same patient. I found a CDC recommendation to set up separate preparation stations for each vaccine to prevent medication errors.
Our organization is looking to improve our blood factor order sets in EPIC (and possibly develop order panel). Wondering if anyone has guidance on ordering such products or feels they have a good build. Starting with Alphanate and expanding as progress allows. Thank you in advance!
Does anyone have a well developed reversal agent monitoring program? If so would you be willing to share what you monitor/criteria for evaluation, etc? Thanks!
Are you aware of any stability data regarding repackaged oral Lorazepam in syringes? If so, what is the BUD in the refrigerator and at room temperature?
Hi all,
to add to a recent post about override list requests without hijacking the thread, I am curious to know if for your override lists you list exact concentration and package sizes or if you just list the medication name unless there is a specific concentration that must be specified/clarified.
If you list concentrations and package sizes how do you manage drug shortages?
