Insulin and Other Follow-on Biologics

Forums: 

Is anyone currently utilizating Admelog is a follow-on biologic of insulin lispro and is a EPIC user? EPIC looks like it has the default of both humalog and admelog on the same ERX even though they are not "interchangeable." If you are using it did you create equivalence groups in Epic or are you just having them on the same ERX?

Insulin Syringe Storage on Nursing Units

Forums: 

Our hospitals are switching from dispensing insulin pens to multidose insulin vials stored in the pyxis station. Nurses will withdraw insulin doses for patients in the med room.
How does your institution prevent insulin syringe mix ups with IV or tuberculin syringes? Are insulin syringes stored separately, in color coded or labeled bins? Any details and photos would be helpful. Thank you!

U500 Insulin inpatient dispensing model

Forums: 

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!
