This showed up in my inbox Does the word “HEALTH” in relation to CVS must primarily reference their bottom line “health” since they recently reported a 250 BILLION profit in their most recent fiscal year.
Recently there was this fine from Oklahoma pharmacy board from a audit from four of CVS’ stores where the audit showed ONE our of FOUR Rxs was MIS-FILLED – a 22% error rate. The fine imposed, represented only a FEW MINUTES of CVS’S annual corporate profits. Anyone who believes that such fines are going to make them adjust their corporate staffing policies is delusional. It would seem that anyone who continues to patronize a CVS store is putting their own health at risk. I am sure that the Rx dept staff at the CVS stores cares about pt safety, but you can only do so much when you are only provided a fraction of the staffing hours that would allow them do their job safely.
