Our Nursing staff insist that it is a requirement. We have managed to squeeze
them in here at Bellevue

Subject: [nyschp.dop] A question about water supply (sinks) in Medication Rooms
Would you be so kind as to put this question out to the other Directors?
Is it a requirement, law, or standard by Joint Commission, CMS, DOH or any
other surveying body that a medication room on a nursing unit be supplied with
a sink?
I have received conflicting answers on this from different sources.
We are installing Pyxis in our med rooms and there is no space for a sink also.
Thank you.
