Centralized Distribution of CVI Drugs for Placement in ADCs
 

I would like to take a moment to voice my support of the centralized distribution of Schedule VI medications for facility automated dispensing machines (ADC).  This program has benefited the facility by removing the task of pulling and verifying medications locally and sourcing it to individuals that can solely focus on this task.  What this means for the patients is locally more time and attention to pharmaceutical patient care.  In addition to having more time for patient care,  I believe the final delivery using this process to be more accurate as the individuals pulling and verifying can focus on a single task vs. the distractions that working in a facility presents.
