Opioid titration order change coming soon

New targeted info helps guide infusions

Our most recent TJC survey helped us understand that our titration target for opioid infusions was entirely too vague — so we were gifted the opportunity to correct that oversight.
 
Starting Sept. 13, fentanyl, hydromorphone and morphine infusions will have a greatly improved question to help nurses determine what to target when titrating these infusions. A preview is shown here:



The additional click needed to answer this question will substantially improve the guidance our nurses have to work with.

If you have questions, concerns, or suggestions about a commonly used titration target that we missed, please contact Matthew Tanner at 503-814-9960 or matthew.tanner@salemhealth.org.
