A recent front page story in the Chicago Tribune reporting more than 50% of pharmacists tested failed to detect and warn about dangerous drug interactions made national news, and calls by the Illinois Governor for increased enforcement of the Illinois Pharmacy Practice Act.

The video below on pharmacists errors is presented by James Thomas O’Donnell, a pharmacist who has served as a pharmacy college professor, the Founding Editor of the Journal of Pharmacy Practice, and a frequent consultant and expert witness in pharmacist error cases. The type, frequencies and severity of errors are reviewed, and recommendations made to help individual patients avoid injury by pharmacist errors.
