#HSOP2013 VeriChip sounds like a slippery slope. It has the potential to give the Govt. limitless access to our whereabouts and activities

[13au0131 @13au0131]

#HSOP2013 Could automation ever reach a level that it could replace human pharmacists? Should I be wary if it asks to try on my lab coat?

[13au0131 @13au0131]

@13au0083 No more than any other method of prescribing imo. There will always be abuse,lowering the possibility must be a poiority #HSOP2013

[13au0131 @13au0131]

@13au0032 The possibility of a software system which lowers this risk is possible...If HCP's are willing to spend the money to upgrade

[13au0131 @13au0131]

#HSOP2013 The private sector will demand that software upgrades happen in every pharmacy in order to compete! Once that first domino falls..

[13au0131 @13au0131]

#HSOP2013 Complete standardization is impossible without a centralized patient database created by an outside developer to link all HCP's

[13au0131 @13au0131]

#HSOP2013 Most of these errors are the HCP's trying to do work too quickly! Pt's can't expect the speed of a fast food drive thru #mentality

[13au0131 @13au0131]

#HSOP2013 There has to be a level of trust btw a Dr&Pharmacist. Or we may as well keep them on the phone all day explaining their decisions

[13au0131 @13au0131]

#HSOP2013 While a universal healthcare sys in the US has many downsides, a centralized Pt profile which can be easily accessed is a positive

[13au0131 @13au0131]

#HSOP2013 Without an outside developer creating a system to link EVERY healthcare provider, a complete/accessible profile is impossible

[13au0131 @13au0131]

@13au0117 @13au0075 While some Drs may like pharmacists to ease their burden, many may feel we are infringing on their authority #HSOP2013

[13au0131 @13au0131]

@13au0017 @13au0134 You would think E-prescribing would be a safer method of communication between a Dr and a pharmacist vs Fax. #HSOP2013

[13au0131 @13au0131]

@13au0082 #HSOP2013 That is a terrifying statistic, considering we are supposed to be the last line of defense in preventing these errors

[13au0131 @13au0131]

#HSOP2013 After reading the Schiff article, I would say CPOE is not only an advantageous progression in prescribing...but an imperative one!
