News and Updates
Congratulations to Neil de Haan (Principal Applicant) and co-investigators Jane de Lemos, Kimberly Schaff, Jennifer Suess, and Sylvie Labelle on receiving the 2025 CSHP BC SAVING Award for their project: Optimizing IV Oncology Drug Preparation: Empowering Pharmacy Teams to Reduce Waste and Improve Efficiency
This time-and-motion study will evaluate the operational impacts of implementing dose-rounding for IV oncology drugs (starting with bevacizumab and panitumumab) at BC Cancer centers. The project aims to:
- Reduce drug waste via dose-rounding, optimal vial selection, and sharing
- Empower pharmacy teams as stewards of sustainability
- Improve efficiency and preparation processes
- Contribute to planetary and public health
The outcomes have the potential to inform broader adoption across oncology care in BC and beyond.
Be sure to check back on the CSHP BC Branch website for updates on this initiative!
Stay tuned!
