inet ... (edit at the bottom of this post)
fyi (and I'm sure you'd like the factual information), the letter in this post, which was excerpted (tm capndawow) from a longer letter, was written to me. Just thought you'd like some clarity on that.

Texas Children's Hospital rejects Valimed as useless: my bold!
First, let me tell you that as the Director of Pharmacy and a mother of two, I constantly act and think like a mom in my professional life, to ensure that everything we do for our patients is at the highest level of safety possible. We have significant systems in place to help us manage delivery of the right medication to the right patient at the right time. We continuously evaluate our processes, systems,and people to ensure a high-level performance and review outcomes to validate. We do perform routine testing of certain medications that we prepare. As you can imagine, in a pediatric hospital, we must prepare quite a few medications that are unavailable to us in a ready-to-administer form from the drug companies.
In answer to your specific question, the press release was approved some time ago. Between that time and recently, we performed various tests with the product and determined that it would not meet our desired needs at this time. The company had some ownership and management changes, and wasn't ready to provide us the product we had understood they would be providing. We are currently working with Valimed to identify how the product could be improved to help us enhance our current safety measures. In addition, I have been reviewing other technology improvements that could add value to the systems currently in place.
Please know that the Medical-Pharmacy-Nursing and other health professional groups of Texas Children's Hospital work in unison to ensure the best and safest pediatric care possible.
If you are ever interested in a tour, please consider this an invitation, and I would be honored to do that for you. Thanks for your question and interest.
Karen Gurwitch, PharmD
Director, Pharmacy

Maybe you'd like to pass that information on to your fellow posters on diamonte's board.
If you'd like, I'll post my e-mail to her that elicited her reply. Just let me know, as I still have both my e-mail and her reply (and my reply back to her).
If you no longer read this board, maybe paige in her endless pursuit of information will copy this post on diamonte's troo bloo board.
On the other hand, maybe she won't.
(edit -- lmorovan didn't ask for my permission to post it because he didn't need to. Anything I post on any board anywhere is available for anyone to copy anywhere, without my express permission.)
