Hello all,

In our medication safety committee, one of the physicians asked that we look at methods to somehow communicate shortages on a daily basis to providers and nurses what is short and what alternatives we recommend.

Do any of you have tools built into your electronic health systems (ie. Epic) or automated dispensing cabinets (especially Pyxis), or other methods--- to alert providers and nursing, OR, ED etc of medications that are short and the suggested substitutes?

Thank you.
