Northern Health Laboratory Services is seeking a dedicated and experienced health care provider to join our Laboratory Utilization Committee (LUC) as a representative.
Background: Through consultation with the health authorities, the British Columbia Drug and Poison Information Centre (BC DPIC) recently updated their antidote stocking guidelines for health care facilities.
The issue: Availability of piperacillin/tazobactam 2.25 g and 4.5 g vials remains limited in Canada and NH supply may not be sufficient to maintain usual needs at all sites. Anticipated availability: December 2024
The Issue: availability of bupivacaine HCl 0.25% and 0.5% with EPINEPHrine 1:200,000 X 20 mL vials remains limited and NH supply may not be sufficient each month to maintain usual needs.
The issue: Hydralazine 20 mg/mL x 1 mL injectable is on backorder from the only manufacturer in Canada. NH has approximately six weeks of stock in pharmacies and patient care areas and may be at risk of stock outs if the resupply date gets pushed into the new year.
