IV Additives and Solutions Files • 2 files • IV Additives File • IV Solutions File • They are their own files, but I find it helpful to think of them as “subfiles” of the main drug file

Clean Up • Run Fileman reports • Look For: • Duplicate Entries • Drugs you don’t actually have • Inconsistent Print Names (e.g. Normal Saline and Sodium Chloride for different entries)
Solutions File • What do you want in this file? • Only solutions that you have at your facility • Each volume/bag size that you have (use same print name) • Premixed solutions
Example Print Name Generic Drug DEXTROSE 10% DEXTROSE 10% 1000ML INJ DEXTROSE 25% DEXTROSE 25% 500ML INJ DEXTROSE 5% DEXTROSE 5% 250ML INJ DEXTROSE 5% DEXTROSE 5% 500ML INJ DEXTROSE 5% DEXTROSE 5% 1000ML INJ DEXTROSE 5% DEXTROSE 5% 50ML INJ DEXTROSE 5% DEXTROSE 5% 100ML INJ DEXTROSE 5% 0.45% NS DEXTROSE 5% 1/2NS 1000ML DEXTROSE 5% 1/2 NS W 20KCL DEXTROSE 5% IN 1/2NS W 20MEQ K DEXTROSE 5% and 0.9% NS DEXTROSE 5% and 0.9% NS 1000ML DEXTROSE 5% and 1/2NS DEXTROSE 5% and 1/2 NS 500ML I DEXTROSE 5% and 1/4 NS DEXTROSE 5% and 1/4 NS 1000ML Same print name but different volumes Premixed Solutions
Note on Premixed Solutions • Example – Ranitidine premixed bag • Most correct to make an orderable item like RANITIDINE 50MG IN NORMAL SALINE 50 ML, INJ SOLN • Put in IV solutions file • This is instead of having ranitidine as an Additive like any other type of piggyback you actually make on site in the pharmacy
IV Solutions File – Print Name PRINT NAME: SODIUM CHLORIDE 0.9% • This is what prints on the IV label • Don’t want to be too descriptive here, makes for a confusing label • Use “name” (with the quotes) to enter the same Print Name for more than one item PRINT NAME {2}: • Leave this blank
IV Solutions File – tie to drug file GENERIC DRUG: SODIUM CHLORIDE 0.9% 100ML INJ// • Put in drug from drug file entry • Will want separate entries for different volumes you carry
IV Solutions File VOLUME: 100 ML// • Volume of your bag Select ELECTROLYTES: • Used in TPNs Select SYNONYM: SALINE// • Synonym that will pull up this drug
IV Solutions File DRUG INFORMATION: No existing text Edit? NO// • Shows in Drug Inquiry option in IV menu, not in EHR AVERAGE DRUG COST: 5// • Cost per ml
IV Solutions File INACTIVATION DATE: • Use to inactivate obsolete entries USED IN IV FLUID ORDER ENTRY: YES// • Only effects EHR
Used in IV Fluid Order Entry? • This controls what shows on these 2 lists in the EHR Order dialog • Relatively few orders in EHR are done through this type of dialog • Basically only IV maintenance fluids and IV drips • More later, in EHR Quick Order presentation
Additives File • What do you want in this file? • Only those drugs that you have at your facility • May want different print names for pediatric use (mg instead of grams) • Will need separate entries with the same print name for different strengths ?
Example Select IV ADDITIVES PRINT NAME: AMPICILLIN 1 AMPICILLIN (PEDS PIGGYBACK) - MG UNITS - 2 AMPICILLIN (PEDS SYRINGE) - 30 MG/ML – 3 AMPICILLIN 500mg vial 4 AMPICILLIN 1g vial
Additives File PRINT NAME: AMPICILLIN// • Keep this simple • Do not include strength here GENERIC DRUG: AMPICILLIN SODIUM 500MG INJ// • Will want an entry for each of your strengths
Additives File USED IN IV FLUID ORDER ENTRY: • As before, only effects EHR • Do not need all your piggyback additives here • There are very few Additives that you will mark “Yes” here • EX: KCL, Insulin DRUG UNIT: MG// • Can use different units to help with peds IVs
Additives File NUMBER OF DAYS FOR IV ORDER: 7// USUAL IV SCHEDULE: Q6H// ADMINISTRATION TIMES: 01-07-13-19// • Each of these can be overridden by other files or parameters • Don’t worry much about setting it up here
Additives File Select QUICK CODE: • Quick Codes pre-fill some fields in the order entry process for pharmacists • Not to be confused with Quick Orders • Not a good mix with EHR • Causes new order to be created during med processing – confusing for providers and nursing • Probably won’t be fixed in the near future • So, please DO NOT USE
Additives File AVERAGE DRUG COST PER UNIT: .025// • Cost per unit you selected (mg, grams, mEq) Select ELECTROLYTE: • For TPNs Select SYNONYM: AMP// • Synonym to pull up drug
Additives File DRUG INFORMATION: No existing text Edit? NO// • Shows in Drug Inquiry in IV menu • Does not show in EHR INACTIVATION DATE: • For obsolete entries
IV Additives File CONCENTRATION: // • ? MESSAGE: • Will show on IV Label
