title: Pharmacists have more responsibilities, liabilities than hospital materials managers. Part 1.
abstract: A hospital materials manager is also a registered pharmacist. In dealing with other materials managers at state and group meetings, he reports that a question often arises as to what professional responsibilities and liabilities a pharmacist has in addition to those of materials manager. In this dialogue, Dr. Decker reviews the professional responsibilities and liabilities of a pharmacist. In a subsequent article, the issue will be narrowed to the hospital pharmacist. This is Part 1 of a two-part series on pharmacist responsibility and liability.
