Hi All, We have central line insertion kits that contain lidocaine. Sometimes this is used for the line insertion, other times lidocaine is obtained from our ADC. In order to know the patient received lidocaine this has to be documented in the chart as a med order. This would allow for accurate med list, CDS, and compliance with DSCSA. We are able to provide an orderable in the EHR to be selected so the lidocaine can be documented on.
1. Are you documenting lidocaine use for central line insertion?
2. Who is documenting - Nurse or Provider?
If you are currently not documenting lidocaine administration this is helpful to know too. We are at a standstill on who should be documenting the administration, since the provider physically administers it.
Thanks!
