What challenges do you think pharmacies have in implementing new technology?
Data submitted to the ISMP National Medication Errors Reporting Program (ISMP MERP) have repeatedly shown that manual verification of intravenous (IV) admixture ingredients by pharmacy personnel who prepare solutions and pharmacists who inspect the final products is not particularly effective in detecting and correcting errors. Thus, the ISMP Guidelines for Safe Preparation of Compounded Sterile Preparations, recommend technology such as barcode scanning to verify all base solutions and ingredients during preparation and verification of compounded sterile preparations (CSPs).

Tell me your thoughts on the article: “Maximize Benefits of IV Workflow Management Systems by Addressing Workarounds and Errors”Do you agree pharmacies should implement IV workflow management systems (WFMS) ? Why or Why not? 2. What are 3 of the workarounds/potential errors surrounding WFMS?3. What challenges do you think pharmacies have in implementing new technology? 4. Do you think article and the technology proposed address aseptic technique? Explain.
