Other cost savings/patient safety
programs offered by RxToolkit:
|
|
Famotidine IVPB to IV
Push: Famotidine can be given by IV push (over at
least 2 minutes) diluted to 5 -
10 mL. This method of administration can save hospitals significant money,
based on their current method of administration of
either premixed IV bags or if they are preparing their
own sterile admixtures.
|
|
IV to PO
Conversion: Our robust IV to PO program allows
hospitals to import eligible patients from primary
hospital pharmacy software system. Users then select
patient and follow decision tree (can be customized for your hospital) to
determine eligibility for conversion and then print
recommendation for chart. The next day, users can
review status of recommendation and with just a couple
clicks, document outcome. Our report feature lists
conversions, % conversions, cost savings and a host of
other information.

VANCOmycin oral
syringes: This program provides users with
background references, detailed procedures, syringe
labels and optional overwrap labels and electronic
documentation for each step of the process.

What's in the
development/planning stage? We are developing a
tool to minimize waste and provide nursing with
administration information for IVIG. We are expanding our
library for the preparation of NICU and Pediatric
syringes for cost effective drug administration. And
more to come...
