How do you help to ensure that certain medications do not find their way into your ADCs? How often do you monitor?
Example: I do monitor for fentaNYL patches in our EDs and procedural areas. This works well, and only a small group of technicians add medications to the machines. One that we have had difficulty slipping through the cracks is haloperidol decanoate making it's way onto a psychiatric unit as stock rather than being sent patient-specific each time.
Thoughts? Does anyone know if Omnicell has a method to label certain medications in individual machines' "DO NOT LOAD" list? I've heard rumors but cannot find anything concrete, so may have to have a home-grown method.
