Hi All,
For those who have BCMA systems that track max cumulative dosing for PRN meds, what medications do you include?
Examples:
- acetaminophen PRN - alerting the nurse if dose about to be administered exceeds 4,000 mg/ 24 hours
- sumatriptan oral PRN - alerting the nurse if dose about to be administered exceeds 200 mg/ 24 hours
Also interested in any thoughts in general on the subject i.e. barriers to implementation or why your organization decided not to pursue this.
Thank you!
