Dispensing practices for IV adapters (Vial2Bag or Vialmate)
Hello,
For those organizations that are using IV adapters like Vial2Bag or Vialmate, how does your pharmacy currently dispense these products? Please share how you use ADCs vs. dispensing from central pharmacy department that would be helpful. Also interested in hearing how bar-code scanning is set up - does the nurse scan the vial or the vial and diluent?
