Ban Bisphophonate from inpatient setting

[ZpackSux]

Why should we give it to patients in the hospital. I say take it off the formulary and not dispense it to patients while they are hopitalized. What do you think?

Discuss.

Oh..I can help you guys control neulasta... but y'all have to pay me...

heck....most of those are outpatient meds... hopefully you guys are getting reimbursed... or do you qualify for DSH 340B?

Works for me. The half-life of these things is forever and a day, so missing a few weeks probably wouldn't hurt. And, less risk for esophageal irritation and erosion, since hospital patients like to lie in bed.

nope, no 340B. just a very loose interpretation of what the word formulary means.

Why not give it. Gives you another pill you can charge the patient $500.00 to cover pharmacy services, administration fees, janitor fee, parking lot fee ect.....

I have a feeling that it's from a VW new bug. I am getting a mini version in the mail here soon (at a really great price, too!)
