We are a small hospital without 24/7 pharmacy services. While our orders are verified by remote pharmacists; we would like to know how others handle double check/verification of IVPB or IV Infusions prepared by nursing after hours? During pharmacy hours, we prepare and send almost all compounded items, with the patient specific pharmacy label barcode used for BMV. We require a 2nd RN to verify drug prepared, patient etc since the patient specific label is not available when the pharmacy is closed.
Thanks!
