Re: Narcotic delivery system

We do two separate runs for Narcotics. Technicians take only the narcotics. As for your question about having a secured tote or such, we have smaller bins that we put each floor in and cart it upstairs. All narcotics are sent up via Pyxis.

Re: Re: Narcotic delivery system

We stock out narcotics at 9am and then stock the "regular" drugs at 10am. As far as stocking goes we seperate into locations and then a tech goes and stocks into Omnicell. Like the previous poster stated, the tech is in constant supervision of natcotics until they are stocked.
