Good morning, 

A comma phrase was created to standardize wording for antimicrobial administration in dialysis patients receiving a daily or every 48 hour regimen. Please see specifics below:

,HD24 - Give every 24 hours. If day of dialysis, give after dialysis session.
,HD48 - Give every 48 hours. If day of dialysis, give after dialysis session.
 
Thank you,
Madeline
