How long will it take a Pharmacist or Technician to learn how to use PhaSeal and return to their previous work rate?
The use of PhaSeal will normally slow down the preparation time for one or two weeks before the staff gets used to the system. According to Poirier et al, J Oncol Pharm Practice, 2004, pharmacy technicians were able to return to their pre-trial efficiency in preparation after a few hours in a biological safety cabinet. Nursing staff required a few days to experience regimen specific administration procedures. By the end of week two, pharmacy and nursing staff were back to pre-trial preparation and administration times. Click here to read the abstract of Poirier et al.
