Is anyone willing to share their downtime procedures for IV pump interoperability with Epic?

Good Morning All,

We're looking at tightening up our auto-verification of medication order procedure. Was curious if anyone would be willing to share their policy dealing with auto-verification, specifically which med orders your organization allows to be auto-verified and which meds or classes you mandate pharmacist review and verification?

Thank you for your consideration!

Inserted in this message is a photo of the new rounded dosing, which is included in the "kit" for 25mg Tenecteplase.
I understand there are some rumblings about using other dosing than what the FDA approved- is anyone planning on using other dosing than what will be nurse facing on the vial and dosing card ?

If so, how are you managing the vial and dosing materials provided by FDA/MFR ?

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone allow patients to bring in MDVs of Testosterone filled at a retail pharmacy to be administered in the office? If you do, how do you manage these vials (BUD, transfer devices, etc)? Are you sending back with the patient or storing on site? At what points do you require a witness?

Thank you,

I was wondering if what diluent everyone uses to reconstitute plain hydrocortisone vial . The Pfizer package insert and also their Medical Information confirmed to use bacteriostatic water or bacteriostatic sodium chloride only and they do not have recommendations/data to use SWFI or NS to reconstitute. I was wondering if anyone can share what they are doing? Are you utilizing SWFI to reconstitute the plain vial? And if so, do you have any data to support? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering what dosing protocols your sites use for elevated ICP indication, and if you use a loading dose at the beginning (e.g, over 1 hour or 3 hours), how is the order set built and how do you program it in the pump. A separate IVPB? A bolus from the infusion bag? Are they separate orders in the order set?

Hello! We are seeking insight from other institutions to understand if dosing recommendations have been clearly defined for the administration of ketamine IV push between pain management dosing and sub-anesthetic dosing?

Thanks!

Hello!

For those institutions using methoxsalen for administration via the THERAKOS CELLEX photopheresis system, what safety measures do you have put in place to prevent this from being administered IV?

Thanks!

I am curious how many are utilizing IV hydroxyzine at your institution? If yes, please answer:

A) Do you require a central line for administration?

B) Do you have any restrictions around its use?

C) Do you dilute it?

B) How long do you infuse it over?

Does anyone have data to support use of IV administration?
