I am sharing a link to an article that was recently published in Patient Safety and Quality Healthcare pertaining to maintaining the medication cold chain in ambulatory practice. I had the opportunity to co-author this with two of my colleagues, Will Bachman MEd. and Mariam Gendi, PharmD. We described the processes that we implemented to promote medication temperature safety. We are a very large multi-specialty practice but do not have the support of an integrated pharmacy. I hope this is helpful to those of you facing similar challenges. Here is the link: https://www.psqh.com/analysis/maintaining-the-medication-cold-chain-in-a-large-ambulatory-practice/.
Thank you.
