My institution currently classifies IV fluids as a supply. Supplies are currently managed by our Central Supply department.
I'm curious to know, do any other institutions classify fluids as a supply rather than a med? Do you have a separate department that handles the procurement of supplies? Do you have a policy or procedure that aides in determining what products will be considered a supply vs a med? Appreciate any feedback on this! Thank you.
