Hello all,
I want to update you on a recent policy change that will effect dispensing in PSP. The nursing medication administration policy for intrathecal medications now states that we must provide:
We have ordered new intrathecal auxiliary stickers to place directly on syringes:
We have also purchased a printed bag declaring the same message so that it will be visually distinct from other syringes dispensed:

Thank you for being a great team,
