CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure in packager operation could have a catastrophic effect on Detention pharmacy operations by taking what is
now an automated process to a manual process necessitating that hundreds of drugs be dispensed by a pharmacist,
thus increasing the risk for adverse medication errors.
