How are rphs so casually verifying #90, 180, etc, 540 pills with barely even a glance at the terribly blurry photos? Most don't even bother zooming in and spend about 3 seconds looking over 180 pills (60 pills a second? Really?)
I understand the technician scans the bottle before pouring out to count, but I'd assume that kind of defense wouldn't hold up if an error slips through and it gets legal between you/BOP/patient/employer as they would just point the finger at you and say it's your responsibility to spend as much time as you need to look at the photos to catch the error. I also understand a lot of rphs rely on shape and color, which again, is quite a meaningless defense once a significant error happens.
I've also seen the absolute worst photos that still get verified instantaneously with 0 concerns--90 pills bunched up all in one corner where you literally cannot see anything, or a label in front of the camera blocking 75% of the pills.
Can someone explain this concept, because frankly it sounds utterly insane.
