You’re human. Mistakes happen. Learn from it. It’ll make you better. And never rush. No matter what. When the storm starts, take a breath and tell yourself to just focus.
Create a routine for yourself. Write down everything you need to verify at pickup, put it in the order that makes sense to you and works with the register prompts, and do it that way every. single. time. Put it on a post- it at the register if you need to until it becomes habit.
These are great suggestions. If you’ve been a pharmacist long enough you will have at least one near miss. Aim for zero harm. Know that the systems you work with should be designed to catch human error and if one got through, analyze how it failed and design a fix for your work environment. For example, two sets of eyes on every Rx before dispense. If you are working alone, find a way to take a fresh look at that Rx. Ideally for me, I check off on the Rx each element as I check it. The ‘systematic’ check is needed bc you will be interrupted and this will get you back on track.
Hang in there!
