Hi all,
Our organization is planning to implement Gravimetrics in our sterile compounding space. We'd appreciate your advice!
1. What workflows do you use gravimetrics (eg, chemotherapy? neonatal? all medications?)
2. What were some challenges with implementation and after go-live?
3. What do you wish you knew going into the project (what advice do you have for us)?

Thank you!
Jen

We are reviewing our sterile compounding policies and are curious how other hospitals are handling fake eyelashes.

Do you specifically identify and prohibit the use of fake eyelashes in your Sterile Compounding Policies?

If no, do you consider fake eyelashes a "cosmetic" and require that they are removed prior to entering sterile compounding area?
