Pharmacy collection Survey January 7, 2013
I need some feedback in regards to how the pharmacy collection is going in your area?  I would like to take your feedback back to Steering meeting on Monday January 7.13. Any issues, challenges, difficulties?  Is it easier to use with the changes made?

=== Pros ===
* OAK - I find the new collection less time consuming. The new format is excellent. I have no issues.-[[User: Lpruden2 | Lorri Pruden]]-Jan 7.13
*CON - I think that it is easier at my site than the previous counting of syringes for inotropes, amiodarone propofol, etc..[[User: Mlaporte | Marie Laporte]]. Jan 4.13 
*STB_MICU:I find the pharmacy collection is better.  Less counting of the number of days makes a difference.  It is still a challenge with some complex patients but is more do-able. [[User: LKolesar | Laura Kolesar]]-Jan 7.13

=== Concerns ===
*HSC - Since she picks up shift at HSC in MICU opinion is this: Collection at HSC MICU seems to be more challenging; perhaps due to the acuity, complexity of the patients requiring more drugs, some which are used infrequently and therefore less familiar.[[User: Mlaporte | Marie Laporte]]. Jan 4.13 
*HSC_MICU - As you know pharmacy collection at MICU in HSC is very time consuming. I’m sure we give more drugs than any other site because of the complex infections. The drugs that take a yes or no are not a problem but the patient day drugs take a lot of time. We used to have a treatment sheet in MICU with the drugs on it but that has been discontinued in MICU only. I did use this sheet as a cross reference. It is hard to follow up on the wards chasing down MARS under nurses armpits etc. I feel the most accurate way to do MICU audits is in medical records retrospectively. At best I get to IICU once a month and it is a real challenge to get the drug counts never mind check TISS 28.
