I am curious what specific strategies others are using throughout the medication use process to reduce the risk of errors when bringing new products (secondary to drug shortages) into their organization.
Has anyone created custom auxiliary labeling to give nursing or providers a heads up that the drug they are handling is "new/different"? Is anyone sequestering products temporarily brought in to a specific location or in a lidded storage space?
Love to hear others successes/thoughts! Thanks!
