Process improvement strategy to prepare and administer bacillus Calmette-Gu érin (BCG) vaccine in compliance with United States Pharmacopeia (USP) chapter 800 standards.

CONCLUSION: Through a multidisciplinary initiative involving pharmacists, physicians, nurses, and leadership, a new process to promote the safe preparation and administration of the tuberculosis vaccine Mycobacterium bovis BCG was developed and implemented. The results of a post-implementation time study indicated that a standardized approach to scheduling, preparing, and administering BCG was effective in managing the operations of BCG through having high clinic and patient satisfaction.
