    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacy Practice
    • Drug Distribution Systems
    • Healthcare Security

    Background:

    • Previous controlled substances distribution systems had limitations in accountability, record retrieval, and security.
    • Only Schedule II drugs were rigorously controlled, while other controlled substances were dispensed similarly to regular prescriptions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new controlled substances distribution system designed to address the weaknesses of previous methods.
    • To enhance accountability, security, and efficiency in managing controlled substances within a healthcare setting.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a new system with separate daily audit and disposition forms for Schedule II injections, Schedule II oral/miscellaneous drugs, and Schedule III/IV drugs.
    • Daily shift counts recorded by nurses on the forms, with attached patient charge slips (shingles).
    • Daily pharmacy review of forms for discrepancies and restocking needs, supported by a quality assurance program.

    Main Results:

    • The new system effectively combines accountability, security, and efficiency for nursing personnel.
    • Provides an effective charging mechanism for dispensed controlled substances.
    • Facilitates daily discrepancy identification and restocking management by pharmacy.

    Conclusions:

    • The daily audit and disposition form system represents a significant improvement in controlled substances management.
    • Enhances overall drug accountability, security, and operational efficiency in nursing stations.
    • Offers a robust mechanism for tracking and managing controlled medications.
