| *I could not find a data collection guide for pharmacy on the wiki. My question to all data collectors is: When counting infusion drugs do you count them if they are infusing even if the bag was not hung in your unit or do you only count the number of bags hung? Hopefully I will get many to respond as we need a consistent policy on this. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 11:18, 18 June 2010 (CDT)

| **I currently count all bags hung determined by the med sheet.--[[User:MWaschuk|MWaschuk]] 10:57, 21 June 2010 (CDT)

| ***I count only bags that were hung in ICU and signed on the med sheet. (I have on occasion had files with no Pharm; but on the Tiss had points for vasoactive meds that were hung in ER and then discontinued shortly after admission to ICU)--[[User:Mlaporte|Mlaporte]] 15:30, 21 June 2010 (CDT)

| ****I also only count bags hung in ICU per the med sheet. [[User:BDeVlaming|BDeVlaming]] 10:01, 22 June 2010 (CDT)

| *****I would like to add that sometimes meds are not signed on the med sheet and then I add up the number of mls of the med infused in ICU. For example today a pt had 295 ml of Propofol infused over 2 days-none were signed on the med Kardex. The first bag hung in ICU was documented on the fluid sheet-so I calculated from that point forward. This can only apply to continuous infusions.[[User:Mlaporte|Mlaporte]] 12:25, 25 June 2010 (CDT)
