Hurry, Time is Wasting: The Pharmacy Workforce and the Cost-Effectiveness and Safety of Ready to Administer Products

This educational activity will review the evidence for the safety and cost-effectiveness of ready-to-administer (RTA) prefilled syringes compared to the traditional vial-and-syringe method, present the latest study on pharmacy-related costs associated with IV push products, and discuss real-world aspects of transitioning from traditional to RTA products. Faculty will discuss barriers, challenges, and the data and information needed to build an institution-specific value proposition to persuade decision makers to adopt or expand use of RTA prefilled syringes. Participants will be guided by faculty to begin to develop their own specific plans for adoption or expanded use of RTA prefilled syringes at their practice sites. 

 We invite you to share this free educational activity with your colleagues.
