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

I support the petition of delivery of Schedule VI drugs to be placed in automated dispensing devices.  Significant safety advantages are in place today along with an initial pharmacist check at the central distribution site that make an additional check unnecessary.  The elimination of a redundant second check will allow the Pharmacist time to be re-focused on direct patient care activities that provide positive patient outcomes.
