items and to Only When Loaded for the remainder of items (that is, nursing
unit specific).
Only those ordered medications loaded at the station display in the patient’s
profile when entered or verified. (The “Med not loaded” message seldom
appears.)
Order entry and verification
The following list provides guidelines for entering and verifying orders:
•
Configure the host pharmacy system to send orders to the Pyxis MedStation
profile-mode system console only upon entry or verification by a pharmacist.
•
The nurse should also verify that the pharmacy order (medication, dose, route,
schedule) appearing on the station against the written patient record at the
time of removal.
•
Always consult the original physician’s written order for clarifications on
medication therapy.
Medication distribution
Often, no specific regulations or recommendations related to the management of
automated distribution systems exist. If this is the case, consider the following
approaches, which are based on common practices of MedStation users:
•
Technicians pick and prepare medications for load or refill into a station under
the supervision of a registered pharmacist. The pharmacist checks
medications prepared by a technician before they are placed into a station.
•
Stations are physically loaded or refilled by trained technicians. For certain
medications with the RxCheck feature enabled, the system prompts for a
another user to check the pocket after it has been loaded or refilled.
•
Nurses are instructed to report any suspected load or refill error to pharmacy.
The exact procedure for reporting is defined.
•
Pharmacists maintain an ongoing quality monitoring program to review
technician load/refill activities.
Example quality monitoring process for the pharmacist:
•
Following technician load/refill activities, periodically print Loading and
Unloading and Med Refill reports.
•
Compare the Med Refill report activities with the Refill Pick and Delivery
report used by the technician.
•
Monitor load and refill accuracy for medications requiring RxCheck. On an
ongoing basis, check other pockets randomly to verify that the correct
medication has been refilled/loaded into the correct pocket and keep records
of such inspections.
•
Pay extra attention to load, refill, and Rx Check activities of newly trained
personnel.
