All of our inpatient areas are on full Pyxis Profile, with no carts except PBs and IVFs. We have some Physicians using POM, in which case the orders must be Verified by a Pharmacist before they pass to the Pyxis. The majority of our orders are still written in the chart, faxed to the Pharmacy, and then entered into Meditech by a Pharmacist. Those orders pass directly to the Pyxis. The only orders which, by policy, are double-checked by another Pharmacist are high risk meds (Chemo, TPN, etc) which are not dispensed from the machines. I'm not sure that Meditech even has a mechanism for Pharmacists to verify Pharmacists, unless you give each Pharmacist two separate login ID's: one for Not Verified and one for Verified.
