DOSING "PER PHARMACY"
Providers have the ability to request dosing of antibiotics "Per Pharmacy" by inputting "Per Pharmacy" into the frequency field of an order. Pharmacy will assign a dose and frequency for the antibiotic order that is appropriate for the patient's indication and renal function and will monitor the patient while he/she are on the antibiotic. The chart below shows the number of "Per Pharmacy" orders that Pharmacy has received by antibiotic ordered.
