Hello,
For hospitals where pharmacists order TPNs, how do you ensure an independent double check?
Our TPN pharmacists enter TPN orders, verify their own orders and then transcribe that info for CAPS. We have have seen incidents of transcription errors likely due to the lack of independent double check.
Would love to learn more about everyone's TPN workflow!
