Managing contrast media 1

Our Radiology Dept. has asked Pharmacy to take over dispensing of contrast media to providers in the OR setting. We are debating whether to require a direct order from providers including the intended use. This is in light of a recent error at a nearby hospital where the wrong contrast product was given intrathecally. How does your institution handle this?
