1 The provincial parenteral manual is a patient safety
initiative lead by Alberta Health Services in partnership with
Covenant Health. This is an electronic manual and will be updated
and maintained by AHS. Covenant Health staff will use the manual as
a reference to guide the administration of parenteral
medications

approved by the Provincial Medication Management Committee (PMMC)
and are maintained by Drug Information Services The new provincial
monographs are a compilation of the diverse parenteral monographs
of the former health regions and Alberta Cancer Board The new PPM
is a convenient, accessible and reliable reference for drug therapy
guidelines and parenteral drug information The new provincial
monographs are NOT a comprehensive drug reference - if the
information required is not found, consult alternate sources (i.e.
