The Saskatchewan Health Authority began the launch of the provincial Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) Management program on June 3, 2024. Implementation of the program involves a mandatory outpatient IV iron order set that can be accessed here. The order set is scheduled to be gradually rolled out across the province in the coming months. A memo containing a more detailed site-specific timeline can be found here. The program will affect ALL OUTPATIENT IV iron prescribing once implemented in your community.
IDA Management Program Pharmacists are available to answer your questions. Please find their info below. Live virtual education sessions will be offered for those interested. Dates to follow.
