Controlled Drugs
Drug logs are important to our every day practice. Each controlled drug should be accounted for and inventoried regularly by the Practice Manager.
Drug logs for all injectable and tablet controlled substances are kept soley on Avimark. Please check with your doctors to be sure the proper amount is entered for each patient, and that each drug is logged.
Hydromorphone is CII, and that is tracked both in Avimark and in the log located in surgery.
If a Euthanasia bottle is removed from the safe, the removing team member should fill out the book on top of the euthanasia solution box with the number bottle taken, the date, and what the new balance is of the box. They should also initial this line item.
If a drug needs to be wasted, the tablets or liquid should be put into the Drug Buster container, located in surgery.
If someone on the team is concerned about drug diversion, please contact Dr. Erica or the Practice Manager immediately.
