Results - IVIG Dispensing Method Quick Poll

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your participation in the poll to help us gain a better understanding of how different locations approach their dispensing process for IVIG (vials vs pooling).

Here are the results as of 5/26/23, when I will be closing the poll.

30 Respondents

1. Please select how your institution or health system dispenses IVIG to front line teams for administration when more than 1 vial is required.

70% (#21) - Dispense the vials
17% (#5) - Pool the volume into a single sterile bag
13% (#4) - Other

2. For those dispensing vials, please select the method you utilize on your EHR.

71.4% (#15) - Single IVIG entry built to support the total dose (Example - IMS dosing in Epic)
28.6% (#6) - Multiple linked orders, where each order represents a vial

I appreciate your time and support.
Brent Dammeier
