Then instead of "refill on demand" use "cycle fill". This way you are sent all scheduled meds (except narcs and ABX) on a 30 day schedule and then they continue to do that.

at what additional cost? no service is free....also it would have to be more nearly 28 days, to account for waste/dropping...

a dropped pil/wasted pil sheet is sent at the end of the day for anything needed... it is delieverd within 24 hours. The pilss are number on the card and punched for the exact date they are administered. No additional cost.

I don't understand how it would cost the facility any more to cycle fill? I have to think it costs an arm and a leg right now to correct all the mistakes that are being made on both ends.

When it nears the end of the month, someone should check the cards to make sure that we have enough until cycle change. We pull the sticker and fax it to pharmacy telling them how many we have left until cyle change. They should be sent out that night and they there should be enough.

Now...all of the shoulds and someones....that is an other story. No one wants to do this or even thinks of it. Since I work weekends..alot of times it it too late to get the meds from pharmacy.
