This quarter, the NIC was joined by Sara Mirzaei, PharmD, BCPS, BCPPS, CPHQ, Medication Safety Specialist, and Lani Ochoa, BSN, RN, CPN, Medication Safety Specialist, from The Children’s Hospital Colorado. They shared how they used a quality improvement framework to analyze bolus from infusion administrations using data-driven insights in order to effectively enact change in their drug library limits and bedside clinical practice.
Originally aired Wednesday, June 25, 2025
