[MCOH-EH] Dr Mitchell's Presentations at ONS

[Philip Adamo]

Thank you Dr Mitchell for the pp slides. We have recently updated our HS policy to include many of the salient points you have made and consistent with USP 800. The question arises—you mention medical surveillance and do not include  the components of medical surveillance. There are mixed opinions about annual blood testing which result in false positive results. 

I am interested in what others are doing for the medical surveillance.


Thanks,

One is for oncology nurses responsible for rolling out compliance with USP<800> (more administration/program based). The other is for those with less expertise about hazardous drugs, so it has more background information and focuses more specifically on nursing practice as it relates to delivery/infusion using Closed Systems Transfer Devices (more education/practice based).
