    rx3500 posted a topic in Patient Medications

    Pharmacy per say doesn't run audits, it's done by the PSM or persons allocated to do so. It is fact that not every transaction will be audited, and in this case unless they talk to the patient nothing...

  9. Pyxis undocumented waste

    rx3500 replied to nicunursecourt's topic in Patient Medications
