The Pharmacy Department, concerned with the excessive number of IV medication doses wasted, developed a two-phase plan to deal with the problem. The first phase evaluated the daily cost of having a technician manually look through the nursing Medication Administration Records (MARs) for changes in IV orders, rather than depending upon the ward clerk to send them to the pharmacy. Then that amount was compared to the cost savings derived from not making, and wasting, discontinued medications. The second phase determined the cost savings obtained by recycling IV medications to a different patient if the primary patient no longer required the medication. The annual estimated savings from these two changes was $8,044.00.
药剂科对静脉用药剂量浪费过多的问题深感担忧，制定了一个两阶段计划来解决该问题。第一阶段评估了让一名技术人员手动查阅护理用药记录（MARs）以查看静脉用药医嘱的变化，而非依赖病房办事员将医嘱发送至药房的每日成本。然后将该成本与因不配制和浪费停用药物而节省的成本进行比较。第二阶段确定了如果主要患者不再需要某种静脉用药，将其回收给其他患者所获得的成本节省。这两项改变预计每年可节省8,044.00美元。
