Hey guys,
i was just reading up on medication errors and how they tend to be under reported in most healthcare settings. One of the big reasons why they are under reported seems to be fear of retribution resulting from reporting them. Im just curious what your institution or company's policy is toward reporting medication errors and dealing with pharmacists or technicians who make such errors? is there a certain quota of errors that pharmacists or pharmacy staff members are able to make before disciplinary action is taken? Is there a mandatory or voluntary error reporting system at your pharmacy?
