At PP&P, we are dedicated to providing you with solutions to many of today’s challenges and we hope you feel better educated every month you read PP&P and that this month is no exception!

This issue of PP&P brings you:

•  New approaches to establishing efficient, compliant medication reconciliation processes, an area many facilities are currently struggling with. 
• An early adopter’s experience implementing robotic IV technology and identifying the highest risk points in the implementation of this new technology.
• Simple tests one organization devised to evaluate closed system transfer devices.

• Strategies for justifying the purchase of a new wireless temperature monitoring system.
• The approach of one large health system to save millions of dollars every year on employee prescriptions. 

While it is important to learn from the successes and struggles of your peers, it is even better to do so while earning continuing education credits! Therefore, we are quite pleased to bring you the enclosed ACPE-accredited supplement:
