Description

4 Center is a 24 bed Transplant and Nephrology Unit and as in many inpatient units, intravenous therapy is a common practice. Each medication has a different stability, and IV lines should be changed according to the policy that the hospital has set in place to prevent infection or medication errors. With the goal of improving our compliance, we propose that if there was informational signage and the labels were placed in an organized fashion in the medication room, that this would help to not only remind nurses to label their lines but also assist in which labels to use.
