Fatigue Management and alertness testing

HI All,
I really enjoyed the "Great Safety Debate" at the ASHP Annual meeting. As part of the follow up to the drug testing debate, I have begun to look at what pharmacies or hospitals have done for fatigue management/ alertness in a structured way. I had a recent discussion with a vendor that was mentioned at the debate and I think my coworkers were a bit surprised how pharmacies are staffed in the real world with call ins, doubles, 7 on 7 off midnights, etc. (often in violation of fatigue management principles).
