ISMP IV push safety gap analysis survey

Our organization completed the ISMP IV push safety gap analysis survey. Our improvement opportunities were to:
1. clearly define who has privileges to perform IV push medication preparation and administration
2. define in policy the difference between IV push and a bolus medication

How does your organization define the privileges and IVP versus a bolus?

Thank you very much,
