    Abstract:
    Reduction of IV waste is of extreme importance in the maintenance of cost-effective, quality pharmacy services. This report describes the methods undertaken by a large community hospital to decrease IV waste to under 4%. The program uses several techniques including: "status sheets", IV reminder labels, commercial partial fill containers, extensive recycling procedures and close communication between the central IV service, pharmacy satellites and nursing units.
