What is the impact of leaving an I-vent unresolved?

Leaving an I-vent unresolved can lead to confusion for the pharmacy staff because unresolved issues may create ambiguity regarding the patient's treatment plan or medication orders. Pharmacy staff rely on accurate and complete information to ensure patient safety and effective medication management. If an I-vent, which typically highlights a potential problem or requires attention, remains unresolved, it hinders communication and clarity among the pharmacy team, ultimately affecting workflow and patient care. The ambiguities may lead to misunderstandings about medication administration, order fulfillment, or other critical pharmacy operations, which can negatively impact patient outcomes.
