HHWC Code Coverage Plan

Attached is a plan for W&C Code Blue coverage for midnights and weekends.  This is effective tomorrow, April 1.

Key points:

• This plan applies anytime there is only one pharmacist at W&C (2200-0630 on weekdays, 1700-0630 on weekends)
• HH Main pharmacists will provide backup when W&C pharmacist reports to codes
• For PEDIATRIC codes, W&C pharmacist will report to code and call HH Main for order coverage
• For ADULT codes, W&C pharmacist will report to code and call HH Main for either order coverage or code coverage depending on anticipated length of code
• For code coverage:
• HH Main pharmacist will tram to W&C to attend code
• W&C pharmacist will return to central pharmacy once HH Main pharmacist arrives
• For order coverage:
• Verify STAT or NOW orders
• May leave non-urgent orders
• If pediatric orders need verification, HH Main pharmacist may verify if comfortable. Otherwise, use discretion to call pharmacist in code for stat order verification or leave all pediatric orders for W&C pharmacist.
• If STAT or NOW IV preparations are needed, W&C tech will call PSP pharmacist to verify through Pharmacy Keeper
