Our system is currently in the process of consolidating 11 individual Alaris pump libraries into 1 system library. We still have independent IV administration guidelines that dictate areas in the hospital that certain medications can be given and monitoring along with it.

Have any of you consolidated your IV administration guidelines as a system? What parameters did you use to broadly define areas within the IV administration guideline that can be expanded to other hospitals or in times of high census where patients are in hallways.
