Delivery of Schedule VI drugs to be placed in automated dispensing devices
 

I support the centralized distribution of Schedule VI medications for refill of facility ADCs.  This expansion streamlines distribution to allow facility pharmacist efforts to be redirected to providing lifesaving medications and other important patient care activities.  ADC's have barcode scanning and thus once checked by a pharmacist at distribution, I believe it is appropriate to be sent directly to the ACD, a second pharmacist is a redundancy.  We should take every opportunity to stream line medication delivery.  I support 18 VAC 110-20, Delivery of Schedule VI medications to be placed in ACD.
