PLANETARY HEALTH


VJH Pharmacy has rolled out an MDI return project throughout the hospital. With the support of Nursing, Respiratory Therapists, and Support Services, we hope to prevent the inappropriate disposal of MDI canisters. Stickers on the Omnicell machine bins that house MDIs now carry a sticker to direct the disposal of these canisters in the Pharmacy Return Bin. Prior to this, they were getting disposed in the sharps container or in the regular garbage. By returning the canisters, Pharmacy can dispose in our medication waste destined for the incinerator, which neutralizes the remaining propellant. Education will also be provided to Respiratory Therapists, a group heavily involved in inhaler education. Support Services will also be presented the information such that they are also aware when they are doing room cleans upon discharge. This is a small step with more to come from the IH MDI Project in the coming months.
