Facilities should establish policies and procedures for when an automated dispensing system is unavailable. 2. Device Keys can manually access unavailable drawers, but must be readily available and retrievable to adequately mitigate the risk. 3. Emergency supplies should be physically available in care areas for critical or urgent medications. 4.
