One other thing I do besides all that is run a house wide med summary report from Pyxis. I then post that print out in the medication bin or on the shelf where the drug is kept so the pharmacy staff has no excuse as to why a machine is empty. That process has seemed to help out greatly!

What I did was sent out pages to the Clinical pharmacist.
We have a white board that I wrote on and made a small note saying This item is Manufacture b/o since _______(date). Then I take a Neon Label and put these in the Pyxis pocket where the drug is out.....

So they have enough communication....Good Luck
