[Pharmwaste] Sampling of med take back items

[Gressitt, Stevan]

Your internal consistency idea looks good. I am not the mathematician or
statistician, but I suspect there is enough horsepower on this list to
advise. It might also be interesting to see the difference in
consistency at 1/10 1/20 1/100 depending on sixze as we all who are
trying to sample will probably do best if we adopt a "best practice"

I had no luck with having our epidemiologist help with a sampling
protocol.  He's already being pulled in many different directions.  I
did want to mention that our next event (3/27) will likely be the last
one in which we conduct a full inventory.  We will be collating the
items collected by participant (i.e. these 20 items all came from car
#1), which will be a little more work this time around.  I believe this
will allow us to validate sampling techniques that we could use for
future events.  For instance, we could pull out the data from every Xth
participant, summarize it, and extrapolate it to the total number of
participants and then compare that to the full inventory.  I'm sure
there's some statistical method to do that.
