Adult Outpatient Surgery Plan Update

In an effort to align with hospital policy regarding renal dosing for enoxaparin (Lovenox), we updated the Adult Outpatient Surgery plan and subsequently destroyed any physician favorite plan that contained the affected enoxaparin order. 

This was a patient safety change that was put into policy over a year ago.  The changes to all other plans were made many months ago, but it was recently brought to our attention that the Adult Outpatient Surgery plan had been missed with that round of changes.   

We apologize for any issues this may have caused with staff and providers.  Let us know if you have any questions or need more information on what was changed.

Each of these is a sub-phase that can be ordered by itself, or within the plan. Antibiotics and guidelines for use can be found once the sub-phase is opened.
