The table was developed with the assistance of representatives from U.S. neonatal intensive care units.
According to a description of the table, which is published on the ISMP website, the safety benefits of all hospitals using the same standard concentrations for neonates include the following:
- Reduce medication error risk when critically-ill neonates are transferred from one facility to another
- Stimulate development of standardized infusion device drug libraries
- Provide the demand necessary for manufacturers to offer commercially prepared standard solutions (if not already available), thereby reducing the risk of extemporaneous compounding errors within hospitals.
