Hi,
Our large hospital system, 5 hospitals & 2 free standing EDs, is weighing the risk/benefit of labeling med bins in the Pyxis towers. One school of thought is that the med inventory stocked in the towers does not change (per policy), so labeling the bin with the med name is helpful to the RN. Aternative thought is that other meds could get loaded due to lack of space in Pyxis and it is a extra step (hence potential failure point) to re-label. The labels could also give a false sense of security to the RN who may overlook reading the med label.

I would be interested in others experience.

Thx, Laura
