Starting in 2020, we are working to achieve adoption of best practices guidelines for IV push medications. Variation in practices, especially manipulation of sterile injectable products and dilution, carries a significant risk for patient harm and adverse drug events.
Our Mission
““Uncontrolled variation is the enemy of quality.””
To promote safe practices for IV push medications by aligning practices, policies, procedures, and increase practitioner awareness.
