Wether it's a repeat or not, I still try to look at each script with a clinical view. I say try, because if you are doing over I'd say 400-500 items a day it's very hard to do. When you get up over the 600 mark I personally find it just about impossible.
I'd agree with all of that. So rethink the process. Tag a script as clinically checked along with the pharmacist responsible for the check. Then as long as it's repeated the pharmacist in charge need not carry out a clinical check. Then out of your 600 items a day a clinical check will only be needed on a hundred or so. This should all be possible in software.
