I support the centralized distribution of schedule VI medications for refill of facility Automatic Dispensing devices. This process streamlines distribution to allow facility pharmacists to be available for checking and evaluating new orders with the precious time needed to ensure the orders are correct. The centralized orders are checked at a central location by a pharmacist and are transported to facilities clearly labeled for each individual machine. The only additional step is that the meds are then transported to the various hospitals for final delivery into the machines. This is really no different than having meds checked on site and then taken to machines. In a really big institution, the time it takes for these checked meds to get to the ADD may be just as long as the short car ride they take from a central warehouse. The barcode scanning ensures safety all the way through the process. Thank you for your consideration of this request
