Attend a FREE ISMP webinar on February 6, 2024, from 1:00pm to 2:00pm ET to learn about the benefits of making that transition and how to prepare, including optimizing ADC storage and standardizing opioid dosing.

Warning!! *Wrong IV medication was placed by manufacturer in the packages. Although the package says “IV acetaminophen” the drug inside is something else. Pharmacists: Check your inventory of infusion bags of IV acetaminophen for the affected lot numbers. Registered Nurses: you are first line, last line of defense against deadly medication errors …. always, always triple check what medications you pull out of dispensing systems and make sure they are what you think you pulled out prior to administering. Remember best nursing practice for therapy administration…. triple checks and five-rights - right patient, right drug, right dose, right route, right time/frequency. Using Bar-code scanning technology is also a great way to reduce errors when administering therapies but in this case it will not prevent an error. Awesome nursing care matters!!
