Today I found four mistakes on the PDMP by Alberstons all committed on 2-20-19 and 2-21-19. Multiple pain medications that should be reported to the PDMP within 72 hours of being filled have still NOT shown up on the PDMP after 29 and 28 days respectively! Would it be so hard to determine who worked those days at the pharmacy? NO! But does the Oregon Board of Pharmacy or Albertsons themselves ever take any type of disciplinary action, retraining, etc.? NO! They could care less about documenting these prescriptions during this opioid “crisis” as long as they got their money. That’s what it’s all about. Money before healthcare; money before laws!
