Auto-Substitution Policy

Hello All,

Our hospital has always used an extensive formulary and non-formulary approval process in the past and current. This has resulted in an extraordinarily large selection of medications available for choosing from.

We are moving towards starting an Auto-Sub policy in the hops to improve our inventory management (pyxis space and batch fills)

Would anyone on this discussion board be willing to share their auto sub policy?

Thank You
