Additional Information
Caring for critically ill patients often requires nurses to use titrated medications but understanding and implementing current order requirements can create confusion for the clinician and risk for the patient. For several months, AACN has been working with The Joint Commission to clarify its medication management standard, which delineates required hospital policies for medication orders, including titrated medications. AACN leaders have developed a strong, collaborative relationship with The Joint Commission and were at the forefront of providing input regarding interpretation of its medication management standard. The Joint Commission has now revised its requirements to provide leeway to clinicians and to clarify administration and documentation of titrated medications, along with minimum elements of a complete medication order.
