Nursing compounding double check

Has anyone had success implementing a nursing compounding double check process for items compounded on the unit?

If so, can you share how you delineate your definition of "compounding" i.e. are vial to bag types excluded, entire vial administered, etc.

Of course we minimize unit-based compounding but there are times when it must occur for one reason or another.

Also, how do you document this in your EHR?

Thanks in advance!
Dana
