Using Multidose Eyedrops in a Health Care Setting

Abstract

Approval of our policy and processes indicates that The Joint Commission validates our policy and its adherence to accepted preferred practice guidelines of safe handling and administration of multidose eyedrops and establishes precedence that may be followed by other eye care facilities and health care organizations in the future. Our policy provides a safe and effective process for administering eyedrop medications to patients as well as controlling excessive health care costs to both patients and health care facilities.
