IV Fluid Supply Update: Return to Normal Operations

I.V. Fluid Shortage Update We have an important update regarding our IV fluid supply: Both Supply Chain and Pharmacy confirm we are no longer in a critical state with the majority of our fluids post-hurricane.

This means we can now remove the disaster status designation for IV fluids and return to line and fluid changes per policy.

While Dianeal remains a concern, its management will continue outside of our usual conservation strategies.

Remember, while we're in a much better place, always consider the best fluid conservation strategy for our patients.

Through our various communications channels, including Connect Newsroom, Internal Communications shares and promotes the awards/recognition that Cook Children’s earns (organizationally, departmentally, and individually) from external associations and from internal programs, such as Peak Performers and DAISY awards. We believe that employee engagement is strengthened through telling the stories of our employees and making the connections their roles have with our Promise, patients, families and peers.
