Converting Hotel to non-ICU COVID beds

Greetings from Seattle,
We are moving to convert a local hotel to a COVID unit (non-ICU). We will not have the ability to have Pyxis connected to our network, so the Pyxis will operate as stand alone for controled substances. Currently, the thought is to do a cartfill for other meds.

Has anyone started this type of conversion? Any suggestions &/or lessons learned would be appreciated.

Be safe.
