Pharmacy Virtual Verification: Asset or danger?
If anyone who works in a pharmacy has a moment to spare, I created a poll on virtual verification in the pharmacy retail setting that I would like pharmacy workers to respond to if possible. Only a couple questions, takes about a minute! 💊🩺 If I can get enough responses and if it’s overwhelmingly negative, I will write to legislators and state boards.
If you don’t know what it is, virtual verification is a somewhat new way of checking prescriptions at CVS and Walgreen’s. At CVS for example, a tech will count pills on a tray and scan an image of the pills under a scanner or an image of a sealed bottle with it’s NDC in view and then bag it and staple it and file it in the waiting bin ready for the patient. The pharmacist never touches the pills or bags unless there is an issue with the process like a blurry image. The pharmacist verifies the prescription by looking at the images virtually that the tech took. They can take multiple pics, can include images of the expiration, seal of the bottle, can place number of bottles side by side in one image, whatever else. The pharmacist can zoom in and out and send it back to the tech to retake images if needed. Ask me questions if you want before taking the survey! Please share with other pharmacists and techs and interns you know. Thank you for your time 🙂
