Are Pyxis systems used in any portion of the CF Medical Group? I'd imagine that they're used at NDMC, but are they used beyond that? I ask because biometrics within healthcare have become the norm and quite frankly, a necessity.
Just one funny Pyxis story, I recall one night working as an ED Aide and we had a known doper hanging around one of the Pyxis machines, looking like he was up to something. An RN soon came up to the Pyxis and punched in a med request. When the one of the Pyxis' drawers opened, the doper shoved the nurse out of the way (causing me to call a Code White) and grabbed what he could in the drawer. He then bolted out of the ED before our sub-par security guards could respond. I initially figured that he grabbed some narcs, but I talked to the nurse and she looks at me with a bit of a smile and says something along the lines of "All he grabbed was a bunch of bisacodyl. Go figure. He'll be on the toilet for about as long as I'll be filling out discrepancy reports".
