Omnicell

Hello! We are a pediatric hospital within a larger adult hospital and use Omnicell as our automated dispensing cabinet. We've found that liquid controlled substances are particularly difficult for tracking patient-specific doses from the Omnicell, and the system seems to want a "stock dose" to be dispensed; however, since we strive to dispense other liquids as patient-specific, I'm worried that this introduces a risk for errors in administration. Does anyone have recommendations for how they are handling patient specific liquid doses from the controlled substance Omnicell? Thanks!
