CFMH Great Catch!

The October Great Catch Award goes to Shilynn Amos in Pharmacy.

Shilynn was preparing doses of medications for delivery to ACS and questioned why the patient was taking immediate release nifedipine only once day. Usually immediate release would be dosed several times a day and extended/sustained release would be dosed daily. The physician was contacted and the order corrected so the patient would receive the extended release formulation once daily,  this matched her home medication regimen.
