<p>What’s wrong with a strong greek scene? You’re in the waning days of your youth…enjoy it!</p>
<p>lamom – good points</p>
<p>I’m not talking about the Pixis system used in hospitals - that’s for mostly nurses to obtain off-shift meds in the hospital venue.</p>
<p>I’m talking about surrogate computers to replace the retail pharmacists entirely. I’m surprised with your recurring training requirements and trade mags that you’ve not come across the system I’m describing.</p>
<p>JCAHO requires that the meds removed from Pyxis are reviewed by a pharmacist first. A pharmacist has to enter the drug profile in the system first. (Pyxis is basically an ATM for drugs)OR-the physician has to give or see the med be given.
The computers will be for refills-things that have been reviewed already. CA is still reviewing-my thought-the large chains are still giving money to the right people to pass it-again goes w/pharmacists being a bit passive.</p>
<p>I am not talking about Pyxis either, although we have a Pyxis in the emergency room to speed admisistration of common meds. I am talking about Robot-Rx:
