We are having a discussion among our staff with regard to DC orders specifically for infusions.
Currently our infusion orders state 'may discharge once all study procedures have been completed'. We have been discussing including something to indicate patient is stable and/or at baseline upon admission.
For studies that do not have a discharge criteria per protocol, do you have a unit/organizational criteria in your discharge orders?
Thanks
