Hi all, our hospital currently has outpatient oncology with one full time oncology pharmacist on staff. Our current practice is for our oncology pharmacist to perform first checks, and then an inpatient pharmacist performs a second check before the chemotherapy can be administered. After a recent conference, our oncology pharmacist asked if we were required to have a pharmacist second check when there is a full time dedicated oncology pharmacist on site.

Wondering if other facilities are still practicing second checks or if there are resources that show second checks are no longer needed? Thanks in advance !!
