Parenteral Nutrition Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a life-sustaining intervention for patients unable to receive oral or enteral nutrition. Compounding of PN involves many steps that can be labor intensive to ensure that PN is accurately and aseptically produced. An approach to improving standardization to reducing errors and patient harm is through greater use of multi-chamber bag parenteral nutrition (MCB-PN). MCB-PN requires less preparation time and labor, leads to a reduction in errors, may reduce the risk of infectious complications leading to a reduction in the length of hospitalization, and is associated with a significant cost benefit compared with compounded PN. MCB-PN reduces the compounding required by pharmacists but still allows for the addition of additives prior to administration.   This educational activity will discuss appropriate patient selection for multi-chamber bag parenteral nutrition (MCB-PN) and how to safely prepare and dispense MCB-PN. This activity will also use a case-based approach to illustrate strategies to reduce the risk of errors and improve patient care in various practice settings. The activity will highlight the important role of the pharmacist in parenteral nutrition, including in healthcare settings without formal nutrition support teams.   We invite you to share this free educational activity with your colleagues.    PharmD, BCNSP, FMSHP, FASHP, FASPEN  Activity Chair   Clinical Manager Mississippi Baptist Medical Center Clinical Associate Professor University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy Jackson, Mississippi PharmD, BCCCP, BCNSP, BCPS, FASHP, FASPEN, FCCM, FCCP      Chair and Clinical Professor Philadelphia College of Pharmacy Saint Joseph's University Philadelphia, Pennsylvania This activity was planned to meet the educational needs of pharmacists in leadership positions including pharmacy executives, managers and supervisors, front-line clinical pharmacists and those in product procurement roles who can identify specific opportunities for multi-chamber bag parenteral nutrition (MCB-PN).                        Welcome and Introductions
