I would like to voice my support in the amendment to permit the delivery of Schedule VI medications pulled from a central location. This process has many benefits that includes but not limited to:

1. Provides an environment with minimal distractions for medications to be picked/checked for fill in an ADD. This helps with patient safety within hospitals.
2. Permits medication purchases to be streamlined to a location which can then distribute them as needed in a just in time manner which reduces overall pharmacy overhead and reduces waste/expired medications.
3. Getting through critical or long term shortages can be centrally managed by one group opposed to multiple (at each facility). This helps minimize hoarding at each facility which in turn helps contribute to improve all's ability to get through shortage situations and have necessary drugs for patient care.
4. Improves pharmacy workflow as it eliminates hours from Pharmacy Technician's day, that is historically spent picking medications, as well as from Pharmacist's day that is historically spent checking these medications for refill. This allows that time to be spent focused on more clinical, medication delivery and nursing support tasks.
