MEDICATION SAFETY ALERT!

This was presented in EROC last week.  When confirming new med orders, please look at both "versions".  The MD enters the order, then Pharmacy re-enters it and the orders show up side-by-side.  They should MATCH.  If they don't, please call Pharmacy to correct.  See link below for a screen shot (it makes sense when you see it).  A physician ordered Valproic Acid, and the Pharmacy ordered Vancomycin... yikes!

Confirming Med Orders

Any questions, see me.
