I was wondering if anyone can share process/SOP for medications needed in procedural areas that are not stored in a ADC. We do not have an OR Pharmacy. We have rare instances where a medication that is not commonly used; therefore, is not in the ADC is warranted. OR/procedural area nurses call pharmacy for the order without entering an order in EHR (usually they don't enter orders as meds are available in ADC). Pharmacists of course can't dispense without an order, but also don't want to delay care. Does any one have a written practice to address this gray area?
