SWFI and NS Diluent Shortages

We are having difficulty obtaining both SWFI and NS vials to use for medication reconstitution.
I am having difficulty coming up with creative solutions and effectively discouraging the use of NS flush syringes for med reconstitution (particularly for some of our hospitals that do not have 797-compliant IV rooms). Would love to hear ideas from others!
