  Introduction: Our hospital has developed a vancomycin protocol in order to improve vancomycin dosing and prevent improper sampling time of vancomycin levels and treatment failure. The study objective is to evaluate the impact of implementing a vancomycin order set integrated into a Computerized-Prescriber-Order-Entry (CPOE) system by pharmacist in adult surgical wards to optimize vancomycin dosing and monitoring. Primary objective: Evaluation of the correct sampling time of vancomycin trough levels by implementing a vancomycin order set guiding nurses and physicians on the appropriate sampling time. Secondary objectives: Evaluation of the impact of vancomycin order set integrated into CPOE system on vancomycin initial doses, appropriate use based on indication and time to reach target therapeutic l..
