Target Audience: Pharmacist

This activity will provide an evaluation of the current state of parenteral nutrition focusing on the medication use process elements of transcription, compounding, dispensing, and administration. Particular attention will be given to overcoming clinical and technology-related medication safety challenges such as calcium phosphate solubility, solving the puzzles presented when components are on shortage, lipid sterility and stability, and centralizing operations.

Learning Objectives:

Evaluate best practices for minimizing work arounds in parenteral nutrition transcription processes.
Solve common clinical challenges faced while compounding parenteral nutrition.
Analyze challenges that arise when dispensing parenteral nutrition.
Design a plan for the administration of parenteral nutrition that encompasses a variety of locations (e.g., inpatient, home infusion).
