I currently keep a list compiled that I send to all the staff pharmacists and director once per week that lists the most critical shortages, and include our current stock level in the pharmacy and Pyxis. I also include anticipated ship dates of any/all backorders. If there is a product we are below critical levels then I will bring it up in our morning bed huddle, and we will discuss possible alternatives or solutions as a group.
We are also on Meditech...do you list the shortage note in the non-formulary comments? I like the idea for those pharmacist that work part-time!
