Greetings,
I am reaching out with a Pyxis-centric question.

On some of our patient care units, there is no med room. In order to secure meds, we have med bins ("cassettes") loaded in the Pyxis tower for each bed - these are used for medications that are not already in Pyxis cubies on the unit (think of patient-specific pharmacy-prepared meds, short expiration dates, etc).

The downside of this approach has been that nursing staff needs to utilize the "override" feature in order to access these bins. While our override rates are pretty good overall, this process is the largest remaining source of overrides.

Question: Does anyone else use Pyxis in a similar way? How have you approached this to decrease/minimize overrides?

Thank you
