Are pharmacy errors in Kentucky on the rise? According to a recent study the answer is yes. Many Kentucky pharmacies are using pharmacy technicians instead of licensed pharmacists to fill prescriptions. Often times this can lead to a less skilled worker filing a prescription which can lead to a prescription mistake. Many Kentucky pharmacies are using computer systems to monitor medication errors but often times there is no substitute for a highly skilled human worker to monitor for drug errors.
