Posted on March 31, 2016
Kaiser still doesn’t get it. We deserve a fair PSP bonus that recognizes how much we contributed to Kaiser’s 2015 successes. Help us explain it to them. Use this brief form to tell Kaiser why you deserve the PSP this year.
Kaiser PSP Update
Posted on March 25, 2016
Outgoing Kaiser Southern California President Ben Chu, MD, agreed to meet to determine a fair and meaningful bonus for Southern California workers who did not receive a PSP payout. That meeting took place yesterday and unfortunately, we did not reach a consensus on a fair payout that recognizes our contributions to Kaiser’s success in Southern California last year. All parties involved agreed to meet again on Monday to find an equitable solution.

DFI and Corrective Action
Posted on March 14, 2016
A Drug Furnishing Incident (DFI) occurs with such errors as, but not limited to, wrong drug, wrong strength, wrong quantity, wrong directions, or wrong patient. DFIs occur when a medication has left the control of the pharmacy into the control of the patient or their agent – even if the medication has not yet left the pharmacy.
