This award was presented at the neutropenia SIG meeting in May at the 34th Congress. After identifying a problem, that patients  being admitted through the ER with febrile/neutropenia were not receiving timely administration of the appropriate antibiotics the CNS formed the Neutropenia Improvement Project Team.  The team consisted of CNS,staff nurses,and the clinical pharmacist.This team collected the data,demonstrated a clinical problem, used EVP including the Prevention of Infection PEP Card and were able to develop a standing order set for their institution. Great work!
