02/03/2017 MaryD -- TPN Workflow Update

Subject: TPNs - Update

Hello,

 

We've had a run of TPNs that have been non-daily (i.e. M-W-F). Per the last clinical specialist meeting and several Med Error meetings per pharmacy, it has been decided that non-daily TPNs will be changed to daily TPNs.

This will be consistent with other TPNs and will reduce errors. Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks,

Mary

Mary Dang, Pharm.D.
