Modern pharmacies are complex organizations, where pharmacists have to spend significant portions of their time on administrative matters, such as checking health insurance status. This results in pharmacists being overworked and stressed, which can lead to mistakes.

According to the Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association, dispensing errors are a problem on a national level, at a rate of four errors per day in a pharmacy filling 250 prescriptions daily. In one 2003 study of community pharmacies, the error rate was 1.7 percent — equivalent to about 50 million errors during the filling of 3 billion prescriptions each year in the United States.

WHAT IS PHARMACY MALPRACTICE?

Pharmacy malpractice occurs when faulty prescribing and filling of prescriptions lead to death or injury in a number of ways, including:

  • adverse reactions
  • improper drug combinations
  • incorrectly filled prescriptions
  • denial of necessary medications

In a study for the Institute for Safe Medication Practices, 307 hospital pharmacies were asked to fill 10 different drug orders that had killed patients in 1998. Some contained an overdose, and the remainder were for deadly drug combinations. Shockingly, only four of the 307 pharmacies detected all 10 unsafe orders.
