U500 Insulin inpatient dispensing model
Looking to see how inpatient U500 is being handled in the recent years. A quick search of the forum showed that previously many sites were switching to the U100 option while others are dispensing individual doses in pharmacy-drawn syringes. Is anyone using the U500 prefilled pens? If so, where are they stored in the medical center (ADC vs. med carts) and how are they monitored (if any). Thanks!
