Hello, everyone.

First time posting here - searched the board, but no luck. If I've overlooked a post, please redirect me and remove this one.

My hospital, part of a larger health system, is undergoing conversion to interoperability between our large volume IV pumps and our EHR (Epic). I am curious if any sites currently have in use a protocol to provide nursing the ability to reduce infusion rates for IVPB's known to cause vein irritation (potassium chloride, vancomycin possibly, etc.) by perhaps 50%.
