Compound Oral Liquid Meds Using New National Standard Concentrations

ASHP's "Standardize 4 Safety" initiative hopes to improve patient safety...by recommending a list of standard concentrations for about 30 compounded oral liquids with high risk for errors. This list is an encore to ASHP's earlier recommendations for standard continuous infusions.
Standardizing makes sense...since dosing errors continue to occur.
