The IAB Medical Subgroup is testing a concept to improve the utility of the information
within the SEL and AEL. The first test is the development of a "list within a list"
for items applicable to the establishment of a Point of Dispensing (POD). A POD
is a location where pharmaceuticals and other medications are distributed to end
users. These facilities range from small clinics to large operations with multiple
staging and operation areas. They may also support a range of methods of distributing
drugs and medications to the patients. Items applicable to PODs have been annotated
by adding "POD-List" to the operational considerations section. A keyword search
for "POD-List" will produce a list of these items. This list is not intended to
be absolute, but an evolving sample of relevant items. Click here to see the Point of Dispensing Item List.
