Standard stock criteria for automated dispensing cabinets (ADCs)

Hi all,
We are revising our criteria and process for which medications can be considered "standard stock" in our automated dispensing cabinets. I'd appreciate your insight on how you've addressed this at your locations.

1. What criteria do you apply to decide if a medication can be "standard stock"?
2. Do you have restrictions on who (what roles) can tag a medication as standard stock in our ADC software?
3. Who approves the requests to add a medication to the standard stock list? Do you use your Medication Safety Committee? P&T Committee?

Thanks for helping us with your examples and advice!
Jen Zimmer-Young
