Some key points:
Some key points:
- All inpatient orders for Home Insulin Pumps must be ordered through the "ENDOCRIN Insulin Continuous Subcutaneous Pump Orders" PowerPlan. Exception: patients in the ED who have not been admitted may be placed on a temporary Insulin Pump order.
- You should not need to adjust the orders from this PowerPlan during verification.
- If a patient needs a refill of HumaLOG or Insulin Regular from our inpatient supply, you should enter a Once order for an insulin vial. The tip sheet recommends a way to enter these orders so they are clear for staff.
Many thanks to Katie Varner, Erik Roberts, and Michele Durda for their assistance on this project. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
