Wondering if anyone has guidelines for when RPhs and techs should submit med error reports? If the error leaves the pharmacy? If it reaches the patient? If it has the potential to cause serious patient harm? I'm working with Quality to come up with a reasonable standard.
Can anyone share how you determine the number of pharmacists needed at your facility? My facility, a regional health center, is looking to add more pharmacists and wanted possibly evidence based data to justify the ask. We are currently seeing general RPh/Patient ratio of 1:30 is advised, but did not find data backing that number up.
