Abstract

This column describes 1 systems effort to use multidisciplinary team members to eliminate the use of intravenous acetaminophen (APAP IV). The goal of the initiative was to ensure appropriate use of APAP by limiting the overuse of the IV formulation unnecessarily in patients who can take medications orally, while ensuring its availability to the small subset of patients who would benefit from the IV formulation. This column describes the process used and outcomes achieved from a successful multiyear collaboration.
