In our health system, our adult hospitals have nursing associates program PCA pumps. Our pediatric hospital has Pharmacy program PCA pumps. We would like to standardize this process and have some disagreement around this. Who programs your PCA pumps? Pharmacy is the drug expert, but Nursing is much more familiar with the PCA pump. If you have pharmacy program them, what is your rationale for that? Thanks,
