Removal of meds from ADM in procedural areas

Hello,

Looking if anyone has a policy or an established best practice on how long before a surgical case or in procedural area meds can be removed from an ADM - primarily for OR nurses, anesthesia staff, CTOR staff, cath lab, etc.

Our lead time for the ADM on profile stations is set to 1 hour. Our policy for med administration is based on the CMS reg.

Thank you!
