I would like to voice my support of the centralized distribution of Schedule VI medications for facility automated dispensing machines. This process has benefited my current facility in many ways. The biggest benefit it has provided is to increase patient care at the facility. The process provides additional time for both the pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to provide direct patient care instead of spending that time to pull and verify medications. I personally feel like it decreases errors associated with pulling medications at the facility. The sole job of the people at the distribution warehouse is to pull the medications whereas we at the facility level can be distracted by phone calls and other distractions. This program is a huge benefit to our pharmacy, our hospital and our patients and I believe other healthcare organizations should have the opportunity to see the benefit it provides.
