Take Stock of Expiring or Excess Inventory

You play an important role in returning expiring or excess inventory.

Expiring meds. Work as a team to regularly check beyond-use and expiration dates...in your pharmacy and on patient care units. Removing expiring meds on a consistent, timely basis protects patients...controls costs...and helps your pharmacy avoid issues during an inspection.

Don't overlook easy-to-miss items...such as meds in carts or kits, fridge or freezer meds, compounding ingredients, or non-formulary items.
