Crowd-sourcing innovative cost savings ideas from the front lines of care delivery systems

reduce wastage of pain medication

Idea Status: 

Doctors sometimes order pain meds such as morphine or dilaudid 0.2 mg IV but stock is often more than that and RN often have to waste pain meds while giving only 0.2 mg which is very wasteful. Either we stock the correct dosage on PXIS or the MD order dosage that will not cost such waste.
