Inpatient versus Outpatient Differences between inpatient and outpatient patients: Outpatients take their meds and leave: They receive multiple days supplies Then they ask for refills Inpatients are residents of the facility: Medications are administered by nursing Nursing normally has access to meds needed for one day Many more controls and higher risk of errors 3
Inpatient versus Outpatient Outpatient orders are converted to prescriptions: Set days supply with refills Patients are in control See provider when it s time to renew Ask for refills Inpatient orders contain no days supply: Are open ended but may automatically discontinue if policies require Are printed on nursing MAR so accuracy and clarity are crucial Utilize a team approach to assure patient safety 4
