Pharmacy Keeper visit
Pharmacy Keeper was on site last month and several issues were addressed. Of course, several issues remain. April has created binders of information on how to use Pharmacy Keeper verification properly including appropriate pictures and troubleshooting when issues arise.
Use PKV for all products (iCare and batches) and let us know which products are problematic. Once the recipes are in place more info will be disseminated on using PK.
