Hi Diane, To answer your questions (listed below): b. - Yes, we require a double check of insulin and heparin. c. - Yes, double check must be documented by a nurse's initial and time on the MAR. d. - We currently are using a paper MAR and for insulin and heparin, under LABEL COMMENTS we've entered fields nurses must sign for the double check signature, including date and time. BTW .. we are in testing for BMV, and that system is nicely set up to accept verification from a second nurse.
