At our health system, we have a variety pack of order description names for cyclosporine Neoral and Gengraf products that do not always clearly align with the products on the shelf. Although these products are relatively interchangeable, we sometimes encounter procurement, barcode scanning, and delays in care by trying to clarify the intended order vs. what is actually on hand. We are in the process of trying to standardize this practice across our health system and would love to hear how your facility manages this situation.
1) Do you carry both Neoral and Gengraf products?
2) What are the product descriptions for Neoral, Gengraf, and Sandimmune in the electronic health record? (which ever applies)
a. Which electronic health record are you using?
3) If standardized, what concerns did the transplant specialists share, if any?

Thank you!
