Oppose HB 671, Kill HB 671 or Stop HB 671
This isn't basket weaving that we're talking about, here! People's lives are dependent upon our skill. If every prescription that a pharmacy technician fills has to be (legally) checked by a pharmacist, then why on Earth would it be safe to force one pharmacist to supervise six technicians? If we don't convince the legislators by March 22, 2013, this could be our new reality, here in Florida.
Sure, its cheaper for pharmacies to compensate more technicians than pharmacists. However, medication errors that are likely to occur will more than likely cost pharmacies far more than compensating at least two pharmacists to supervise six technicians.
Having worked for a pharmacy chain as a pharmacy technician, the rush to fill as many prescriptions as quickly as possible is far too familiar. My question is, WHAT ABOUT PATIENT SAFETY? CAN FLORIDA RESIDENTS COUNT ON THEIR LEGISLATORS TO MAKE A RESPONSIBLE DECISION BY SQUASHING House Bill 671? Considering the public health threat, we certainly hope so!
Therefore, House Bill 671 is not a healthy policy and should be defeated. Still not convinced, well click ====>Who's filling YOUR prescriptions to find out more.
Thanks for stopping by!
