We use EPIC. Our IV fluids are floorstock on the unit (outside of the ADC). Since barcode scanning will alert the RN if the wrong fluid type is scanned but NOT if the wrong volume has been selected, we would like to establish system criteria/algorithm for determining if a medication can safely be stocked in the ADC for bedside assembly. If any of you have already have done this, would you be able to share your algorithm or criteria? Thank you in advance for your help.
