Currently I have a chalk board in our break room that says "BACK ORDERED ITEMS do not lend!!!! Everyone comes in the back room at some time during the day so it is the best place to have it posted. I also put big orange dots on the bins and type up a report once a month for the P&T meeting. It works pretty well here and it is funny because during the day while I'm working (I temporarily have my desk in the breakroom until we get our new pharmacy) I will see someone poke their head in to look at the board. Others will come and ask me if the item is on backorder. I try very hard to keep everyone informed. I make sure that our director and asst. director know immediately if something is going to be short.
