Unlike community pharmacies, hospital pharmacies may choose to mark FMD medicines as “Dispensed / Supplied / Decommissioned” on arrival in the hospital pharmacy. In Ireland, experience shows that since February 2019, all hospitals known to us have chosen to do so.
This provides an opportunity for the scanning of larger orders in advance of arrival in the hospital, with the actual decommissioning to happen in the hospital on arrival of the delivery.
Each supplier (e.g. wholesaler) preparing an aggregated order for a hospital will scan each and every FMD pack in the delivery, prepare a file of all the needed FMD detail and upload this to an approved service in a controlled data environment for later retrieval by the destination hospital which, on receipt of the delivery, can retrieve the details and decommission the entire delivery without the additional step of scanning each pack in the delivery in the hospital.
