Re: removing IV's from cardboard boxes

Ruth - thats so funny that your real survery didn't mention it at all!

We are 797 compliant, but we also just don't keep any in the main part easier. Its just simpler to tell people "no cardboard" than "you can have it here, but not here.."

Re: removing IV's from cardboard boxes

since we're heading down the path to 797 our people from supply replace our cart with the usual items.
you see we have 2 carts( 1 we keep in pharmacy and one we keep in supply) this way each day after 230pm we switch out our cart for the other one with a full supply of iv bags bottles and other stuff.
