Saline Flush Scanning: Improving Compliance

Hello all.

Our organization is evaluating opportunities to improve BCMA compliance associated with saline flushes.

Some ideas that we have include:

1. Eliminating the barcode scanning requirement
2. Removing saline flushes from BCMA compliance reports
3. Modifying the scanning frequency from qshift (i.e. q8hrs) to q12hrs (scheduled times TBD)

Have your organizations encountered similar challenges and if so, what strategies were implemented/successful in improving BCMA compliance?

What pitfalls should we consider in our decision?

Thank you in advance and happy holidays to all!
