Administration of IV Medications in Ambulatory Clinic Settings

Does anyone have specific guidance related to administration of IV Medications in the ambulatory setting? I have sent the ISMP Gap Analysis Tool for Safe IV Push Medication Practices to the Nursing Leader who requested this guidance. I believe this largely comes down to monitoring requirements- which we have for inpatient administration. The actual process for medication injection should not differ. I did tell them I would check to see if others had specific information about this subject. Thanks very much!
