What do you mean? Never heard of this nor experienced?

Just to update you. Yes the Pyxis system does offer the ability to waste remotely and also pyxis can b set up so nurses dont have to count- this is a pharmacy decision.

Do u use pyxis or omnicell? - what state- some state rules impact what they have to look at

I cant tell you how many times meds got jammed in the omni slinky dispenser- not worth the headache Nightmare

Unsure reason for asking this. Not sure about omnicell - but pyxis would allow you to reconcile- med X removed, Med X administered for same patient

I have been a nurse over 20 years. Used every technology out there. Also been involved in making decisions. I can say by far Pyxis is the “ NIkE” of dispensing cabinets for nurses—- if you take a look at at their website- they got acquired by BD a couple years ago and the focus appears to be all around safety and NOT just at a cabinet but also making sure pharmacy prepares the right medication- especially IVs!! All the way to when we administer- i have to say a company focused on safety through the entire process - not to mention a very intuitive product- has my vote!

All. Evaluating options around workflow- removal of medications from medication cabinet and administration at the bedside- does anyone have experience with omnicell and it being integrated with cerner within the actual emar?? If so can people share experience-?
