I support the petitioner's request to amend regulations concerning delivery of schedule VI drugs to be placed in hospital ADDs having been verified by a pharmacist at a central distribution company. A centralized pharmacist verifying orders can operate in a more streamlined environment with less distractions as compared to an on-site pharmacist. A centralized pharmacist also scans and links product barcodes to appropriate entries within hospital information systems. This results in less errors, improved patient safety, and allows more time for on-site staff to focus on clinical and interdisciplinary tasks. Centrally managed inventory assists sites with shortage and out of stock issues, as well as a reduction in wasted and expired meds, helping with cost savings and reducing potential delays in therapy for patients.
