How is BCMA compliance monitored and reported out at your hospitals?

Our health system is in the process of reviewing our alcohol withdrawal order set which we have not looked at in a while. We exclusively employee PO/IV lorazepam treatment per CIWA score but have not routinely included pulse ox or telemetry monitoring for these patients that aren't in ICU.

Curious if anyone would be willing to share their order set, or any guidance specifically with lorazepam doses/routes, lessons learned, and/or monitoring recommendations while on this order set.

Thank you in advance for your time!

Good afternoon,

Do you allow ampicillin to be pulled on override from your ADC for neonates?
(We stock it in the SCN but it is currently not on override)

If you allow it on override, does your facility have a NICU or a special care nursery?

TIA

Curious how pump programming is being built for this combination product. For the bamlanivimab 700 mg, etesevimab 1400 mg are you:

-listing the mg for 1 of the agents and having a clinical alert indicating it is a combination product with both mg strengths?
-listing the total mg (i.e. 2100 mg) with a clinical alert indicating individual monoclonal antibody strengths?
-Other alternate build (please elaborate)

Thank you so much for any insight into your practices you can provide.

How exactly do your RN perform this (when indicated with select meds requiring such per your policy)?

The issue we encounter is that after 1st RN programs pump, it will start beeping after 90 sec if infusion is not started (we use Alaris pumps which so many of us use). That leaves little time for 2nd RN to come in and truly independently check programming against original order.

There have been a few threads as of late, regarding TPN processes, Is there anyone utilizing Cerner who has found a method to bring custom TPNs into CPOE? It would also be a bonus if a method to link electronic orders with the compounder, thereby reducing/eliminating risks inherent with transcription.

Thank you,
Joel

How do you currently infuse ketamine at your organization? Via PCA module? Syringe pump? Via IV bag?

Do you treat your C3s the same as your C2s in regard to securing the infusion via lock box?

Hi,

Several of you have mentioned that you stock pre-drawn syringes of regular insulin 10 units on nursing units. I'd love to learn more about this. Do you buy them already drawn up? Do you draw them up? If so, is there stability information available?

Thank you.

has anyone updated to the new Omnicell XT cabinets. wondering if you had any technical or operational issues with changing over to new ADC units.
