Pharmacists,

The AMT has developed a new power plan, use criteria, and standard administration time for daptomycin in adult patients.  

• The daptomycin power plan (HOSP Daptomycin Orders) for ADULTS will help standardize dosing, renal adjustments, and pre-ordered CPK levels.  
• The new use criteria will address some prescribing issues that were identified in a recent MUE that was conducted by the AMT.  
• The standard administration time will help minimize PSP waste and improve daptomycin utilization.  

I have attached an instruction sheet as well as a policy regarding this change to this email.  

This new process will begin this coming Tuesday (7/14/20).

Please let me know if you have any questions.
