Considerations

Dose Label Printing

Generally dosing labels are printed from the Prepare Daily Pour, Label Preparation, or Dose Patient screens. However the Dose Label button on this screen allows users to easily print or re-print dosing labels for selected units one at a time, which can be useful when accommodating unusual scenarios or last minute changes. It is not recommended to use this function regularly to prepare dosing labels for unit doses.

Daily Unit Inventory Physical Counts

This screen can be used to verify that the system's unit inventory matches your physical unit inventory on hand at any point in time.
