Standard Administration Time for Mealtime Frequency is Changing

For All Providers, Nurses and Pharmacists
Effective Wednesday, Oct. 14
 

Standard administration times for mealtime frequencies will change on Wednesday, Oct. 14. The new times will be visible in the Order Composer for providers, Order Verification for pharmacists and in the MAR for nurses. The new administration times will help reduce issues with insulin administration which may result in hypo or hyperglycemic episodes. 

If a dose of a medication needs to take place before breakfast, the standard administration time will move from 6:30 a.m. to 8 a.m. If a medication needs to take place with breakfast, the time will move from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
