Need to address electronic prescription errors—I would estimate 1 out of 25 eRx I receive as pharmacist at Walgreens 12728 contain 2 sets of directions. First, the default SIG then period followed by second SIG. ex. “1 q 4 h. 1-2 a 4-6.” I call the office, nurse laughs & says Dr doesn’t know how to erase the first default SIG, please fill Rx with second SIG and nothing gets fixed. Would love for you to look into this—please contact me for examples or more info.
